World Boxing Council heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder (36-0, 35KOs) is confident of successfully defending his crown, factually emulating the plot of the fabled Rocky Balboa, when he travels to Russia to face mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin.
The WBC heavyweight champion will be Russia bound for this igniting match on May 21 in Moscow.
The challenger is ensconced at home, but Wilder doesn't have any problem in leaving the United States to follow the script of Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV, albeit with state of the art and not rustic training facilities.
"I am very comfortable travelling and going into other territories," he told Sky Sports in an exclusive interview.
"I can adapt to any environment or any situation I need to, so I am ready to go to Russia. You take what you get or start crying about it but I am re-doing Rocky IV. I am doing the black Rocky.
"I am sure everyone has seen it and I am going to do the same as he did. You've all seen it, was a great fight, he took a beating - I won't be getting one like that - but he came out victorious.
"I am the heavyweight champion of the world and that's why I'm going to his place. I am going to get world-wide recognition from whoever wants it, and whoever wants to challenge me."
