Deontay Wilder ranks among the scariest heavyweight boxers of all time. His extensive knockout power, and his ability to pull off highlight-like knockouts, have made him a fan favorite. In every fight, his sole motive is to attain a sensational win by delivering a performance for the fans. That’s one prime reason why hardcore enthusiasts of boxing tune in to watch his fights.

Like many other boxing stars, Wilder, who is always in the spotlight, keeps his personal life limited to his fans. As a result, a lot of fans cannot keep a track of Wilder’s love life or more.

But a few years back, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ broke into the news when he divorced his long-time wife, Jessica Lynn Scales.
