DEONTAY WILDER can definitely be called the most destructive heavyweight puncher of all time.
The American powerhouse boasts a 93% KO rate, with 41 knockouts in 44 fights where 42 were won.
America's heavyweight Deontay Wester is hard hitting.
Wilder, an Olympic bronze medallist in boxing, is a master of explosiveness.
Even though he was outclassed last year by Tyson Fury, the Bronze Bomber cannot be outnumbered so long as he's standing.
SunSport presents five of Wilder’s most brutal KOs ahead of Fury's trilogy fight in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
BETTING SPECIAL GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASHArtur Szpilka January 2016,
Wilder was defending the WBC title for the third time when he made an example of Szpilka, a Polish southpaw.
Round nine saw a huge right hook send the challenger to the ground unconscious, with his legs crossed.
Szpilka was treated immediately by the ringside medical personnel. Wilder later stated that he believed he had killed his opponent.
Wilder said to WNSP-FM 105.5, "I thought he had died for a few seconds. It was true. He wasn't moving or breathing."
Bermane Stiverne November 2017
Wilder had been awarded the title by Stiverne in 2015. This was the first time Wilder had ever gone to the distance.
After Luis Ortiz had been withdrawn from their first fight, Wilder was allowed to make amends when Stiverne was called in late notice.
Within three minutes, the Canadian was floored three times. The fight was ended.
After a four-punch combination, Stiverne was thrown against the ropes. He was then able to get up on his knees and go for the final knockdown.
Luis Ortiz 1 March 2018
After grabbing himself from the ground and injuring the Bronze Bomber, Cuban Ortiz gave Wilder his first test and scare.
Wilder was able to escape defeat at round seven, but he recovered and continued the fight.
Ortiz was twice dropped in the tenth, with a brutal uppercut ending the show.
Wilder had to fight back from adversity for the first time and show that he is capable of sustaining his power through the final rounds.
Dominic Breazeale May 2019,
Wilder had been in discussions to fight Breazeale for many years before it was finally realized and ended before it began.
Breazeale was flat on his back after a huge right hand in round one.
Wilder warned Fury that the hate he feels for him is the same hatred he felt towards Breazeale. We know the end of that story.
He stated that hatred is a motivator to destroy. That's what the Devil does every day. This is the first time I've ever felt this way about an opponent. Dominic Breazeale was my last opponent.
Luis Ortiz 1, November 2019
Wilder declined a DAZN three-fight deal in 2019, with the intention to fight Anthony Joshua. He instead chose to remain loyal to Premier Boxing Champions.
He promised Ortiz a rematch following their close encounter and was able to surpass his previous KO.
Ortiz won the majority the seven rounds until Ortiz's right hand bounced off his head. He turned off the lights.
It was so amazing that Will Guillory, a reporter, tweeted: "Was his soul leaving his body?"
