A look back at Deontay Wilder’s brutal first round knockout win over Siarhei Liakhovich back in 2013

As Deontay Wilder prepares for his latest world title defence, we look back at the American's explosive victory against Siarhei Liakhovich in 2013.

'The Bronze Bomber' defends his WBC heavyweight title against Chris Arreola in Alabama on Saturday July 16, live on Sky Sports, and he will be seeking to extend his 36-fight unbeaten record.

Wilder would exhibit his knockout power against Liakhovich three years ago, sending out a warning to his rivals in the top weight division.

His Belarusian opponent had previously held the WBO title, but Wilder would bring a dramatic ending to their fight in under two minutes.

The Alabama man unloaded two right hands which left Liakhovich lying on the canvas and the bout was quickly waved off.

After three more fights, Wilder would win the WBC belt with a points win over Bermane Stiverne, and he will make a fourth defence against Arreola.
