Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder hopes to get back to winning ways with a knockout when he takes on former sparring partner Robert Helenius on Saturday after a year-long absence from the ring.
US boxer Deontay Wilder speaks during a press conference in New York City on October 13, 2022, ahead of his WBC heavyweight championship fight against Swedish-Finnish boxer Robert Helenius. – Wilder and Helenius will fight on October 15, 2022 at Barclays Center.
However, the hard-hitting knockout specialist from Alabama is determined to extend his career, starting with Saturday’s date against the 38-year-old veteran Helenius. Little is certain, however, given the opaque back-room dealings of heavyweight boxing, so for now Wilder is simply concentrating on a quick win over Helenius this weekend.“I don’t get paid for overtime. I’ve been known for the knockouts and I’m going to end my career continuing to get those knockouts.”
