Deontay Wilder is the epitome of raw power in human form.
The former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder has become known for his destructive punching power. Wilder isn’t the biggest heavyweight out there yet he’s knocked out most of his opposition. In this particular case, size doesn’t matter much at all. His fists are clearly filled with dynamite.
Set to face off with rival Tyson Fury for the third time later this month, Deontay Wilder has been hard at work in the gym. Honing his skills and pushing himself to new physical heights, Deontay Wilder is hoping to bring a new and improved version of himself to the ring.
The rubber match between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is sure to be filled with a ton of suspense and drama. With the first bout ending in a draw and the second as a TKO victory for Fury, Wilder has his work cut out for him going into the third bout. In fact, Fury isn’t letting Wilder forget what happened in their second bout.

Looking to leave no doubts after the third match, Wilder has been taking his training to new levels. Recently he posted a video of himself setting a new bench press personal record.

Let The Trolling Begin
Deontay Wilder was pretty fired up from the accomplishment. Too bad for him a fellow heavyweight boxer caught wind of the video. No, not Tyson Fury. It was none other than British boxer and current WBC interim heavyweight champion, Dillian Whyte.
Being a champion in his own respect, it’s not surprising that Deontay Wilder is in Dillian Whyte’s crosshairs. Whyte took to his Instagram to make a point about Wilder’s 310lb bench press PR. What exactly did he do? Well, Whyte lifted the same amount of weight with dumbbells instead of a barbell. He lifted it and did it for reps.
@bronzebomber screaming with the light weights ???????????? coward i rep your max. Anytime, anywhere we must fight. Let’s gooooo.

Already it looks like another rivalry could be starting up. Should he win or lose in his upcoming match, Deontay Wilder has another opponent waiting in the wings should he choose to battle Dillian Whyte.
What do you think of Deontay Wilder hitting a new PR and Dillian Whyte trolling him?
