Eddie Hearn reveals Deontay Wilder's next fight after Dominic Breazeale KO

Deontay  Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs) added yet another violent finish to his career highlight reel with a brutal one-punch knockout at 2:17 of Round 1 against Dominic Breazeale. Wilder, 33, made the ninth defense of the WBC title he originally captured in 2015. "Everything just came out of me tonight," Wilder said. "I know there was a lot of words and animosity against each other and it just came out tonight. This is what makes boxing so great when you can have so much inside and just overcome." Eddie Hearn believes Deontay Wilder has already set up a rematch against Luis Ortiz for his next bout. Reacting to Wilder’s brutal KO against Breazeale, Hearn told Sky Sports on Sunday: “That was an impressive win for Deontay – he’s exciting to watch. He has taken care of business, now AJ needs to do the same against Ruiz Jr at Madison Square Garden on June 1. The fight with AJ and Wilder is the biggest fight in the sport and all being well in two weeks’ time it must happen next – no excuses, this is the fight that will change the sport globally. It’s a legacy fight and AJ wants it so bad. Two big, fast, dangerous and fearless world heavyweight world champions that can turn the lights out with a blink of the eye – it’s a must. First things first, taking care of business on his American debut on June 1 and send a message straight back.”
