Bio
Right then, let's talk about Deontay Wilder. The Bronze Bomber is one of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history — full stop. Former WBC heavyweight champion from 2015 to 2020, Wilder terrorised the division with absolutely devastating knockout power. At 40, he's still swinging with bad intentions.
Make no mistake, his record tells the story of a proper competitor. Lost twice to Tyson Fury and once to Zhilei Zhang, but when Wilder caught you clean, you were going down. That's the thing about the Bomber — he only needs one. Now he's fighting Derek Chisora at the O2 on April 4. It's the kind of war you'd expect between two heavyweight warriors with nothing left to lose. Should be a cracking fight.
