Deontay Wilder's younger brother Marsellos Wilder was KOd with one punch on Deontay's undercard in November 2019.

In the early stages of the Luis Ortiz rematch show in Las Vegas, Marsellos endured his second pro defeat.

The 33-year-old cruiserweight turned professional to follow in his brother's footsteps in 2018.

However, his career has not gone to plan as this defeat left him with a record of 5-2 after seven fights.

His conqueror, Dustin Long, produced a stunning left hook knockout in the fourth round of their six-rounder.

It did not affect Deontay, who would inevitably have been watching on backstage.

The former WBC heavyweight champion retained his belt with a stunning knockout against Ortiz later that night.

Yet he lost the title after back-to-back defeats to Tyson Fury and will now hope to return to winning ways against Robert Helenius on Saturday night.

This time, he has no relatives on the undercard.
