Wilder continued: “I wouldn’t say it’s a new start. I’d just say I’m in a different mindset. I’m soaking in my peace and happiness.
“I’m in a great place in life. In spirit. And in heart, man. I can’t explain it.
“People don’t know me. They see me in the ring and they judge me off that.
“The saying for me is: to love him is to know him. I’m always at peace, I’m always happy.
“Because if you don’t have happiness or peace, you don’t have nothing.”
