Deontay Wilder (42-0-1) is one of the hardest hitters in the men’s heavyweight boxing division. He carries a tremendous amount of power in his punches. Wilder is the current WBC heavyweight champion of the world with 41 knockouts.

Wilder met Tyson Fury inside the boxing ring for the first time in December 2018. Both boxers had their moments in the match. However, many critics and fans believe that Tyson Fury won that match, mainly due to his superior boxing. But, the two knockdowns landed by Wilder probably balanced out the scorecards. Eventually, the bout ended in a draw.

Among the two knockdowns, the one in the twelfth round was more significant. After getting tagged by Wilder’s right hand, Fury was flatlined for a moment.
