It was a closely fought encounter until the challenger was caught on the chin with a devastating right hand by the American.
There were some worrying scenes post the knockout as Szpilka was lifted from the ring after receiving medical attention for close to ten minutes. He was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The victory leaves Wilder 36-0 in his career with 35 of those wins coming inside the distance.
