Promoter Don King
"In watching him, I'm saying to myself, 'Where is the guy who fought Arreola twice?' We didn't see that guy and I was shocked. Now, we know why."
House said Stiverne was coherent during the fight, but admitted that he was unable to get his punches off like he wanted. House said Stiverne trained hard in camp, but said he didn't monitor his nutrition and fluid intake the way he should have.
He said that will be a priority for Stiverne moving forward.
"He said that he wasn't bothered too much by [Wilder's] punches, but he was unable to get off with his own," House said. "We knew in the corner that something was wrong. He was talking to us but he wasn't able to perform like he had been."
King said he hopes to get a rematch. He said he doesn't want to get in the way of Wilder, who wants to face Tyson Fury if he is not required to face mandatory challenger Bryant Jennings. Jennings' team is in talks for a bout with unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, which would give Wilder the opportunity to face Fury.
At some point, though, King wants to put Stiverne back in the ring with Wilder so that Stiverne can fight without issues.
"I am worried about the young man's health and that's why I have been here with him," King said. "But in a way, I'm glad we learned this. Everything I saw in the fight contradicted what he had done in his other fights. But this explains it. I like Deontay and I don't want to get into his way, but I think at some point when he's back and feeling better, Bermane deserves a rematch and I'm going to talk to [WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman] about that."
