‘The Bronze Bomber’, who was not sure of his return following a knockout loss in the trilogy against Tyson Fury, would be the center of attraction. However, the fact cannot be ignored that though Helenius has never won the world title, he is one of the fine heavyweights in the current scenario of Europe.

Let’s take a look at the stats of both fighters.

Comparison between Deontay Wilder and Robert Helenius

The torchbearer of American heavyweight boxing Wilder has faced two successive losses in the past years. However, these were the only defeats that he witnessed in his entire career. He held his heavyweight title from 2015 to 2020 before losing it to Fury in 2020. Before this, he made 10 successful defenses of his title.

The 36-year-old held a phenomenal professional record. At the amateur level, he won a bronze medal in the Olympics. This gave him his first taste of success. The confidence he earned from there helped him a lot in the initial stage of his budding career. Not technically so sound, the 6 feet 7 inches tall has always been dangerous for his one-hand knockout power. Out of 42 wins, 41 came by way of knockout.

On the other hand, stands Helenius. The 38-year-old has been out of the ring for more than 6 years. How good he is now is not known, but if he has the same skills as before, then he has the potential to duke it out with Wilder. Almost of the same height as Wilder, Helenius has fought 34 bouts in his career and won 31.
