Legacy Arena, Birmingham, Alabama - Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34KOs) had to unload the kitchen to stop a very game Johann Duhaupas (32-3, 20KOs) in the eleventh round to retain the WBC world championship. Wilder will now have to face mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin, who returns on November 4th against Mariusz Wach.
The challenger came out pressing forward with the earmuffs on, applying a lot of pressure and Wilder was moving while working his jab. Duhaupas was cut on his nose from some of Wilder's big jabs. In the second, some swelling began to appear around the left eye of Wilder. During the third, Wilder really let his hands go and unloaded a lot of shots on Duhaupas, who took them well and kept coming.
