In February 2020, Deontay Wilder suffered a lopsided loss to his arch-rival, Tyson Fury. This was his first loss that came in the most tragic fashion. This loss not only shook Wilder, but the entire fight universe. Also, in this contest, the American boxer also lost his hard-earned heavyweight straps.

However, in a rematch with the Brit, he failed to land his dynamite-like hands and consequently ended up with a disheartening defeat. Fury exposed ‘The Bronze Bomber’s game plan and began his assault on the American boxer from the first gong itself.

And citing Fury’s approach, Wilder predominantly stayed on the back foot that night and he faced the wrath of ‘The Gypsy King’s power.
