Derek Chisora sent Deontay Wilder’s trainer hurtling towards the floor, with a brutal shot.
In their respective careers, ‘War’ and ‘The Bronze Bomber’ have cemented their statuses as two of the most fearsome fighters in the division, with Chisora willing to steamroll his way through anyone in his path, while Wilder is capable of knocking out even the toughest of competitors with just a single shot.
Despite once being scheduled to fight, the pair have never set foot inside the ring together.
However, while Wilder is currently embroiled in a war of words with Jarrell Miller, he may eventually turn his attention to the Brit, as the fan favorite currently has the bragging rights over him.
WOW: Deontay Wilder left an opponent twitching on the floor after landing a brutal knockout blow
Derek Chisora knocked out Malik Scott
On July 20, 2013, Derek Chisora went head-to-head with Malik Scott for the WBO International heavyweight title.
At the time, the American was riding a 35-0-1 undefeated record, and looked certain to give the hometown fighter a tough test.
In the early portion of the contest, Scott looked the technically better operator, utilizing his superior footwork to outbox his opponent.
However, as the contest rolled on, Chisora managed to battle his way back, landing thudding body shots.
By the sixth round, the Englishman was looking for heavy blows, connecting with a cracking punch that sent Scott tumbling to the floor.
The away fighter got back to his feet, but the referee stopped it, causing mass controversy. While the official felt Scott hadn’t made the count, his corner believed he was up at nine.
At the time of the stoppage, the Philadelphia boxer was leading on all three cards.
Years later, Scott took over the reins with Deontay Wilder, ahead of his third fight with Tyson Fury, and the pair are still working together now.

While Scott was unable to bounce back from his knockdown against Chisora, his future fighter, Wilder, has successfully climbed up off the canvas to get the win.
After winning a bronze medal in the Olympics, the Alabama brawler turned professional and started wiping out his opponents in the paid ranks.
However, everything nearly fell apart during a bout with a major underdog.
In a dramatic turn of events, Wilder was dropped by a fighter with more losses than wins.
