Deontay Wilder
The Bronze Bomber, WBC heavyweight champion with ferocious right hand power
Overview
Wilder won Olympic bronze at Beijing 2008 and took the WBC heavyweight title from Bermane Stiverne in 2015. He defended it ten times, mostly by knockout, and his 2018 draw with Tyson Fury in Los Angeles included a twelfth round knockdown Fury famously rose from. Fury beat him in their 2020 rematch and again in an epic third fight in 2021.
