In a little more than a week, ‘The Bronze Bomber’, Deontay Wilder will make his way back to the ring. Wilder, 36, will fight Robert Helenius, 38, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It has been a year since Deontay Wilder fought his last. His last two fights were against Tyson Fury and he lost both fights.

At the same arena in 2017, Wilder fought Bermane Stiverne for the second time. Although the first bout went the entire distance of the scheduled twelve rounds, Wilder slept Stiverne in the first round in their second meeting.
