Heavyweight boxing is getting harder and harder each year, more fighters are proving to become well-made champions, as others have some of the hardest punches in the world, however there is one man that was made for heavyweight boxing and is still yet to lose his winning streak, however almost lost it, and still has the potential to become the undisputed champion of the world… Deontay Wilder. He has proven to be one of the world’s best fighters and isn’t looking like he is stopping any time soon! The Bronze Bomber has been on fire these past few years he’s been boxing and can still go on, he still must fight Tyson Fury again and fight for the unified championships, but right now he can be considered the best.

This was after he won the Bronze medal in the 2008 heavyweight Olympics. He won that bout and then continued to fight and not go the distance until he fought the WBC world heavyweight champion in 2015.
