The impressive win over Luis Ortiz also had fans compare Deontay Wilder to Mike Tyson, who is still known as the hardest punching heavyweight in the history of boxing. After the fight was over, Deontay Wilder reportedly claimed that Tyson would praise his performances behind the scenes but does not do so publicly. Wilder was keen for the former undisputed world heavyweight champion to express himself and make his admiration public.

Deontay Wilder also added that he had people tell him about how Mike Tyson would draw a comparison between himself and Wilder. Speaking of which, Mike Tyson would talk about having to use a bunch of combinations to be able to knock people out, while praising Wilder to have that hard-hitting ability.
