Boxing: Which one is Deontay Wilder’s favourite KO?

The long list of knockouts includes some of the best heavyweights in the world. However, the WBC Champion feels that his knockout win against Artur Szpilka is the best of the lot. Deontay Wilder and Artur Szpilka fought against each other in 2016 and after nine hard-fought rounds, the Bronze Bomber landed a right hand from hell. It was a scary finish, and Szpilka was knocked out cold for at least seven minutes. He had to leave the arena on a stretcher. Deontay Wilder revealed that he thought he killed Szpilka in the fight. According to the American, the way Szpilka landed and stopped breathing made him think that he had killed him. Take a look at the brutal knockout.

The Bronze Bomber once said that he wants a body in his boxing record. Deontay Wilder faced heavy backlash from fans after making such a comment as WBC Heavyweight Champion. According to Deontay Wilder, he wants to kill someone in a fight since it’s totally legal in a sport like boxing. He is still hunting for that in his career.
