Deontay Wilder pushed his knockout streak to 29 fights by dropping Sirahei Liakhovich midway through the opening round of the Showtime main event in Indio, California.
Wilder caught Liakhovich with a big right hand, while the former world champion was backed against the ropes. Liakhovich went down heavily and began twitching. At that, the referee waved an end to the bout without beginning a count. Liakhovich was kept down for some time in the ring, before being helped to a stool.
It was the third consecutive knockout loss for Liakhovich.
