I think we've covered how unstoppable the funk of Deontay Wilder really is, and it did not stop when he faced European heavyweight champion Johann Duhaupas, of France in September 2015. Wilder was defending his major world heavyweight title against the large Frenchman. A wild fest of sluggery aired on the PBC broadcast that night. Wilder was lifting himself up off the ground with his own final punches to force referee Jack Reiss to stop the fight.
Duhaupas took a terrible beating but landed a surprising amount of leather himself. He went on to beat Robert Helenius and seems to be scheduled to fight three times this year against unannounced opponents. Wilder is still defending his claim and recently annihilated Bermane Stiverne into a meme, and is about a month away from facing arguably his best opponent yet in Luis Ortiz. I've wanted that fight for some time and am glad it looks to be happening now.
