US boxer inspired by daughter and a sense of style

US amateur heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder already has a suit picked out to wear with the gold medal he plans to win in Beijing. For him, nothing will be an acceptable substitute.

"I won't be complete without a gold medal," he said in an interview with China Daily. "My suit won't look right unless it's got the gold medal."

It may be an audacious target for the 22-year-old, who has only been boxing for two-and-a-half years and has only 22 bouts under his belt. But the 2m-tall, 91kg Wilder - with his punishing right hand, 88cm reach, and only two career losses - seems a natural talent in the ring.
