In October, after his father-in-law was successfully elected, Link continued his boxing training.
In November and December, he participated in two title defense matches in Tokyo and London, the first against IBF contender Deontay Wilder, and the second against British Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury.
Maintaining his aggressive fighting style, Link won by KO against Deontay Wilder in the second round and Tyson Fury in the third round.
The two matches brought him nearly half a billion US Dollar in revenue.
His professional record also reached an accumulation of 46 fights, 46 wins, and 46 KOs.
The day after the matches ended, Link was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, becoming the youngest person ever to receive this honor, acknowledging his influence in boxing and his outstanding contributions to promoting the sport.
