Former heavyweight world champion, Deontay Wilder, returned to the ring on Saturday night with a first-round knockout of Robert Helenius, finding his way back after consecutive losses to Tyson Fury.
“I set him up,” Wilder said. “I allowed him to reach and when he reached, I attacked. It was a great fight.”
Wilder held the WBC title for five years and could seek a chance against Oleksandr Usyk, who owns the three belts besides the one Fury took from Wilder.“I’ve been hearing rumours about Usyk, but he’s not here, is he?” Wilder said. “When guys see these knockouts, they turn the corner away from me.” Wilder turns 37 next week and said he only wants to fight three more years but is willing to do whatever it takes during that time to get back on top of the division.Kindly share this story:
