Deontay Wilder has retained his WBC heavyweight title after knocking out Dominic Breazeale in the first round of their match on Saturday.
Wilder knocked out Breazeale just 43 seconds remaining in the opening round at Barclays Center arena.
Speaking after the match, Wilder said: “When I hit him with the right hand the first time his body language changed.” he continued, “When you been in there with so many different guys you learn to recognize body language. I knew he was slowing down and opening up.”
Meanwhile, Breazeale couldn’t get a perfect punch as his defence was non-existent as he walked right into the knockout blow. He lay motionless on his back, then got up at the count of 10 as the referee grabbed him and waved it off.
