Deontay Wilder Claims ‘Knocked Out’ Equilibrium, Broken Hand Affected His Performance Against Tyson Fury

Last year, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder engaged in one of the greatest heavyweight fights of all time. This fight was undoubtedly the best encounter in the last decade, as it had everything a boxing fan wished for. Right from knockdowns to power punching, both the boxers put forth a stellar show for the fans.

However, Wilder ended up on the losing side with a heart-wrenching hand injury. Recently, he was on The Byron Scott podcast, wherein ‘The Bronze Bomber’ opened up on his injury and more.

He said, “In that fight, I broke my hand early, you know. Which you know I’m always breaking something. You know, so it made an interesting fight to continue maybe 11 rounds more. I think I broke it in like third round.”

“I broke it and had a fight 11 more rounds, then my equilibrium was knocked out around by fourth round. When I first went down so I’m like, I’m seeing s**t.” – ‘The Bronze Bomber’ added.

Fury dropped him in round 10 and finally, it was in round 11 when the Briton caught Wilder with a staggering right hook to the chin. With this, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ went on the canvas and he wasn’t able to gain a vertical base.
