Deontay Wilder has described himself as thetoughest hitter in boxing after his seventh-round knockout of Luis Ortiz in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The Cuban had dominated the first six weeks, but had been knocked to the floor by a right hand that was stunning in Wilder, 34.
He retained the WBC world title with his 42nd win from 43 fights by knockout.
I believe I earned my admiration to say Im the hardest-hitting puncher in boxing background. Stage, explained the American.
I do what I really do time and time again. I give folks great fights and fantastic knockouts.
Wilder has generated 10 successful defences of his WBC belt, which he has held since January 2015.
Was the draw with Tyson Fury in Los Angeles in December 2018. Even then, he put Fury about the canvas in the final round.
However, the Alabama boxer feels his accomplishments deserve greater recognition.
You have got to give me my credit, he explained. It is sad that it took me over 40 fights to find the recognition I really deserve.
When people see me, theyve never seen my own style. It took them some time to become accustomed to what I display, my talent I present to boxing.
Its different to every other fighter. It is not textbook. You can not really teach it and thats what makes me unique in the rest of these fighters.
