DEONTAY WILDER has been handed a six-month suspension after his brutal battering at the hands of Tyson Fury.
The American slugger was demolished by the Brit and finally KOd in the eleventh-round over the weekend.
It came after a fight of the century candidate between the pair with FIVE knockdowns at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
But Wilder has now been banned from getting back into the ring until April next year at the earliest.
The 41-2-1 heavyweight was dropped three times during the savage battle in front of a packed-out crowd.
He was taken to hospital straight after the bout for scans on his head and hands.

It is understood Fury has been given a 45-day suspension following the classic heavyweight contest.
It finally put an end to an epic trilogy of fights over three years, with none of them disappointing fans.
