Deontay Leshun Wilder, who also goes by ‘The Bronze Bomber,’ is an American professional boxer known for his explosive punching power. Wilder was the WBC heavyweight champion from 2015 until 2020. He boasts an impressive knockout-to-win percentage of 97.67%, the highest in heavyweight boxing history. He has earned the Premier Boxing Champions Knockout of the Year award three times (2016, 2017, and 2019) and also secured the Ring magazine Knockout of the Year award in 2019.

Wilder entered the boxing scene relatively late compared to his peers, beginning his career at 20. In his amateur career, he achieved great success by securing a bronze medal in the heavyweight division at the 2008 Olympics. At 23 years old, on November 15, 2008, Wilder began his professional boxing career at the Vanderbilt University Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, Tennessee. His debut match was against Ethan Cox (2–2–1), and he secured a victory with a second-round technical knockout (TKO) by knocking Cox down three times.

Deontay Wilder holds a professional boxing record of 43 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw (43-2-1), with his only losses coming against Tyson Fury.
