It was purely a one-sided affair. To be specific, it wasn’t even training.

Wilder used his fists to pour an all-out assault over the troller. As soon as the contest began, Wilder chased him down, only to land a vicious knockout punch on his face.

Throughout the video, Wilder appeared adamant about hurting his rival. That said, he landed three big shots to put down the troller. However, Wilder still appeared vexed. While everyone in the gym tried to separate them, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ was determined to continue the fight.

After the challenger hit the mat with Wilder’s third big punch, the former Word Champion marred him with one more shot to seal the day.

Wilder has been inactive since his latest defeat against Fury. Thus, a throwback video of him has seemingly interested the fans once again.

Wilder would look forward to reclaiming his WBC strap and avenge the only loss of his pro career in his upcoming fight against Tyson Fury.

Fans expected the trilogy battle between Fury and Wilder to happen by now. However, COVID-19 brought a halt to the plan, cementing December 19 as a likely date for it.

As per reports, Wilder vs Fury 3 can happen in the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Yet, it is still not an official declaration. If he defeats Fury, Wilder would defend the WBC strap against the winner of Whyte vs Povetkin next.

Despite that, the fight holds much more to Wilder than the title,

After a controversial draw in the first fight, Wilder went one-down opposite Fury in the rematch. Thus, the trilogy contest would be highly important for his G.O.A.T status, other than the belt.
