Deontay Wilder be remembered as one of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history when he retires from boxing. The former WBC heavyweight world champion has 43 wins on his record to date, with 42 …
A vicious right hand from the American saw his opponent fall to the canvas, though what happened next was alarming.Wilder quickly ended his celebrations when he realised his opponent needed urgent medical attention, which he received from the doctors.
Thankfully, Liakhovich stopped twitching shortly afterwards and recovered. He was able to sit back on his stool and eventually walk out of the ring.Wilder“I knew that it was over, because my corner was telling me that it was over when he fell down. So I was all happy and celebrating.“I saw it afterward on the replay on the big screen when I looked back and I saw it on the monitor.“That’s when my smile went into a frown, and I was concerned and I was worried, because that was a scary moment.
After he had recovered, Liakhovich bizarrely filed a protest with the California Commission, claiming that Liakhovich’s advisor, attorney Anthony Cardinale, sought a no contest due to ‘illegal punches’. Nothing came of the protest and Wilder reacted by saying: “I must have hit him harder than I thought, he must still have a concussion.”
