Deontay Wilder contests his first official knockdown despite many believing it was the second of his career against Harold Sconiers. Wilder claims he was dropped by an illegal blow when he was down for what many believe was a follow-up to Dustin Nichols. The former world heavyweight champion shrugged off his first-ever bonafide and counted knockdown as a rabbit punch that did little to halt his progress.

Paul’s assumed plan would see a ton of publicity placed on his name for a Netflix collaboration in the late fall. However, months before the fight, one skeptic sees a switching of opponents happening on top of the card.
