Deontay Wilder: ‘‘I am the hardest-hitting puncher in boxing history”

Well, there is no doubt that Deontay Wilder is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in recent times and his right hand has victimised a lot of veterans with nothing to offer from the other side. After 10 consecutive title defences, Deontay Wilder has levelled himself up with the great Muhammad Ali and the American feels that he has earned his respect to say that he is the hardest-hitting puncher in boxing history. According to Wilder, he gives people great fights and great knockouts, believing that his achievements deserve more recognition. 'The Bronze Bomber' got his hands on the WBC heavyweight title in January 2015 and he has been retaining it since then. In between, he has faced Dominic Breazeale, Tyson Fury, Luis Ortiz (2X) among others and 'The Bronze Bomber' has walked out with his title every time.

"You've got to give me my credit. It's sad that it took me over 40 fights to get the recognition that I truly deserve. When people see me, they have never seen my style. It took them a while to get used to what I display, my talent that I present to boxing. said Deontay Wilder
