How did Deontay Wilder break his hand in the Tyson fury Trilogy?

Deontay Wilder’s right hand, the most dangerous and powerful weapon in all of boxing, took heavy damage against Tyson Fury. The same hand that produced two 4th round knockdowns took heavy damage somewhere around the sixth round, according to Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel.

Immediately after the fight, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ underwent surgery to fix one of the middle metacarpals.

According to Finkel, the surgery will keep Wilder out of action for 3 months.“He’ll fight sometime in the spring or early summer as long as he’s healthy and he’s good and he’s up to it.”

Finkel said, “He’s still in pain with the hand and his equilibrium was off, somewhere around the third round (Fury connected behind the ear), that’s why his balance wasn’t the same.”
