Deontay Wilder knocks Oleksandr Usyk out of ring in crazy knockout as fight simulated in game beta testing

Deontay Wilder punched Oleksandr Usyk on his way out of the ring in a clip captured during beta testing of a boxing game.

The PC title Undisputed was opened to fans for trial in late 2022 before its full release in 2023.

During these beta tests, the game was not yet finished and some issues naturally emerged.

Part of the reason for this testing period was to allow players to report such issues, meaning the developers could fix them before releasing the game to the full market.

Two of today’s biggest heavyweights were available for beta testers to try out.

They were WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

In a fun clip that circulated on social media, the American got the better of the Ukrainian in dramatic fashion.

Wilder hammered Usyk with a series of big left hooks that stunned him then sent him tumbling to the canvas.

However, as the champion began to fall, his challenger managed to land another left hook that sent him flying over the ropes and out of the ring.

The dramatic knockout was certainly eye-catching, although perhaps a little unrealistic.

Other clips have been seen showing similar knockouts, meaning the issue was fixed before the game was properly released earlier this year.

In the real world, Usyk and Wilder might end up fighting one day.

The American is now back in boxing and is set to face Zhilei Zhang on June 1.

After his loss to Joseph Parker last year, he is looking to redeem himself.

If Wilder beats Zhang, the victory could put him on the path to another world title opportunity.

Meanwhile, Usyk’s eyes are firmly fixed on WBC champion Tyson Fury as they prepare to meet to crown an undisputed heavyweight king on Saturday night.
