Curtis Harper says he is ready to take a chance against former heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder when they go head-to-head in a heavyweight clash April 26.
Harper, an 18-11 (12 KOs) pro from Jacksonville, Florida, is expected to slug it out with Wilder – one of the most dangerous punchers of his, or any, era – at the Gateway Center in Atlanta. He believes the time is ripe to showcase his talent and take his big shot.
“I'm going to be in the best shape to fight Deontay Wilder, mentally and physically,” Harper told BoxingScene. “I expect to show people what I can do and what I'm capable of given the time and the right opportunity to do so.”
