Chris Arreola's corner called off the fight at the end of round 8, as WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder successfully defended his belt in the PBC on FOX main event.
In a fight that was only made because of Alexander Povetkin's failed drug test, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) took care of the hopelessly overmatched Chris Arreola (36-5-1 NC, 31 KOs) in Saturday's PBC on FOX main event, in front of about 12,000 at Legacy Arena in Wilder's hometown of Birmingham, Alabama.
The fight didn't look competitive on paper, and it wasn't competitive when played out, and perhaps the big reason it dragged on for 8 rounds was Wilder's post-fight admittance that he broke his powerful right hand and tore his right bicep.
