Bronze Bomber
Deontay Wilder started boxing late, at twenty, to provide for his daughter. Two years later he took the bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics, in 2008 — the only American boxing medallist that year.
The nickname Bronze Bomber comes from that. It also echoes the Brown Bomber, the nickname of Joe Louis, heavyweight champion of the 1930s and 1940s and a fellow Alabaman.
As a professional, Wilder became WBC heavyweight world champion in 2015 and held the title for five years, with ten successful defences.
His reputation rests on his right hand: almost all his wins came inside the distance, often from a single shot. His three fights with Tyson Fury, between 2018 and 2021, are among the most watched of the decade.
