Deontay Wilder is the holder of the historic WBC heavyweight title, and he plans on using that prestige to his advantage when it comes time to square off with Wladimir Klitschko, the consensus top heavyweight in the world.

A fight between Wilder and Klitschko isn't feasible until 2016 at the earliest, but if they fought Wilder is already stating he is unwilling to fight overseas vs. Klitschko.

"We're going to stay here in America," Wilder said. "I'm looking for some time mid-to-late next year , that was one of my goals in boxing to have all the belts, to be the first American undisputed heavyweight champion of the world."

Klitschko has a far more expansive resume than Wilder, who has a single title defense to his name against a low-level opponent who rocked him early in the fight, but Wilder cited his status as the WBC champion as a trump card.

"I got the most precious, well-known belt in boxing, the WBC heavyweight champion," Wilder said. "I'm the legitimate champion because I have what people want the WBC title. I got the belt that all the greats had. That's why Wladimir Klitschko wants what I have. I got that belt so we sitting good. I'm the heavyweight champion."

Wilder vs. Klitschko is the best fight that can be made at heavyweight right now, but it's unclear how Klitschko will react to Wilder attempting to dictate terms. Klitschko fought most recently at Madison Square Garden in New York against Bryant Jennings, but hadn't fought stateside in seven years (13 fights) prior. Wilder said he thought Klitschko appeared to be aging when he fought Jennings.

"He looked old, and credit to Bryant Jennings," Wilder said. "When you have something people want you are going to get the best out of them."
