Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>American boxer, Deontay Wilder, has been given a six-month suspension following his trilogy heavyweight fight defeat to British fighter, Tyson Fury, a few days ago.<\/p>\n

The suspension will enable Wilder to undergo surgery on his broken hand.<\/p>\n

Wilder was knocked out by Fury in the 11th round of their thrilling trilogy fight in Las Vegas last weekend.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old put Fury down on the canvas twice in the 4th round but was unable to capitalise as the Gypsy King went on to retain his WBC heavyweight title.<\/p>\n

Wilder will now be unable to fight until next April unless he is given clearance by a doctor after the Nevada State Athletic Commission handed him a six-month medical suspension due to his injuries following the fight.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the development, Wilder\u2019s co-manager, Shelly Finkel, revealed that the boxer would have an operation next week after breaking a bone in his hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeontay broke his right hand behind the third knuckle and he has to have that fixed next week,\u201d Finkel told The Sun.<\/p>\n
