Ahead of his highly anticipated contest, he did a media workout and showcased how well-trained he is for his upcoming challenge against top-rated European heavyweight Robert Helenius.

FightHype filmed the entire in-ring session of Wilder.
After watching the clip, one would not believe that ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is aging. His style and body moment appeared far better than what he showcased in a trilogy battle against Tyson Fury the previous year.
A close look at his improved technique showed that Wilder is probably at his best rhythm. His jab, with the picture-perfect head moment, and smooth footwork recalls Mike Tyson’s technique of bobbing and weaving. He has never seen training like this before. It would certainly add a new dimension to his arsenal that mainly relies on power punching.
When this video came on YouTube, it left boxing fans surprised because Wilder is not known for his in-ring skills. The terror he produced in the ring was because of his lethal punching power.

How did fans react to the improvement shown by Deontay Wilder in his skills?
A fan wrote, “I think Tyson Fury created a monster. I see improvement.”
The only losses against Fury have pushed Wilder to work on his technique. Earlier, he was too flatfooted to even react.
