Fighter who sparred Deontay Wilder and boxed Daniel Dubois says one person hits harder than both

While Deontay Wilder and Daniel Dubois have very heavy hands, neither punched this boxing star the hardest he’d been hit.

In their respective careers, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and ‘Triple D’ have become huge names, thanks to their ability to render their opponents unconscious in just a single shot.

Wilder left Siarhei Liakhovich twitching on the floor with a big right hand, while Dubois finished Anthony Joshua in front of a sold-out crowd at Wembley Stadium in London, UK.

Therefore, if you’re carrying more dynamite in your hands than these two, then you really pack a punch.

Filip Hrgovic says Mihai Nistor has heavier hands than Deontay Wilder and Daniel Dubois

Filip Hrgovic has gone toe-to-toe with Deontay Wilder in the gym, and suffered a tough loss to Daniel Dubois last year.

However, he claims a man who triumphed over Joshua in the amateurs is the biggest puncher he’s ever faced.

In an interview with talkSPORT, he said: “I have faced some guys in the amateurs and the WSB who were big punchers.

“Some guys who aren’t very famous. For example, this Romanian guy, Mihai Nistor.

“I don’t know what is going on with him. I haven’t seen him in a while.

“He was a big puncher; I always remember his power.”
