Lennox Lewis has been closely following Deontay Wilder‘s career over the years.

At the end of the clip, Wilder can be heard saying: “You know what it takes to be a champion and I’m somebody trying to get there.”

Lewis replied: “Don’t worry, you will.”

He added: “Alright man”, before walking back to his
