Boxing aficionados enjoy watching protracted matches that feature vicious punches and deft footwork. However, when a boxer knocks out his opponent with a single devastating blow, the lights in the boxing arenas shine even brighter. Deontay Wilder, a former heavyweight champion, is renowned for his stunning knockouts. In a recently released footage, Wilder’s trainer failed to protect his chin from the boxer’s steel fists.

The ‘Bronze Bomber’ can be seen practicing the mitts with his trainer. But the fighter was so intent on hitting the pads that a strong blow missed the mitt and landed on his trainer’s chin.
