Bombs Away: Deontay Wilder’s 5 Most Vicious Knockouts

Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder‘s streak of 32 consecutive knockouts is among the longest in boxing history. Which were his most devastating?

4. TKO 1 Audley Harrison

This was Deontay Wilder‘s first fight to date in the United Kingdom and very first scheduled 12-round contest. Of course, he only needed one.

50 seconds into the opening round, Wilder (27-0) landed his renowned right hand on the retreating temple of Harrison—who was 31-6 at the time and just two months removed from winning the heavyweight Prizefighter tournament.

The Bronze Bomber jumped on his staggered opponent, hurling wide, curled punches at every inch of Harrison. The berserk onslaught was scary to watch from more than one perspective.

The frenzied attack left Wilder off balance, nearly toppling over himself—something no professional boxer should be doing.

Harrison struggled to make it to his feet and the referee decided to call a halt to the onrush.
