After losing the trilogy battle to Tyson Fury, American boxer, Deontay Wilder returned to the ring with a bang.
Wilder delivered a devastating punch on Robert Helenius in the very first round of the eliminator fight for the World Boxing Council.
The introduction of the fighters lasted longer than the fight itself. Wilder did not wait long and went all out as soon as the bell rang to start the fight.
The fight proved way too easy for the Bronze Bomber who just threw three punches to send Helenius to the canvass.
After just 177 seconds, Wilder was victorious, with his knockout so brutal, not even the bell saved Helenius, with just three seconds left on the clock in the opening round when that final blow landed.
In his post fight reaction, Deontay Wilder breaks down while answering questions in a press conference after Robert Helenius win
The Bronze Bomber spoke about the dangers of boxing and Prichard Colon who was left in a vegetative state following a brain injury suffered in 2015.
“How much that man gonna suffer? We’ve seen what’s happened, look at Colon, Prichard Colon, this man ain’t have no kids, they don’t understand, they need to understand what we go through man, and I don’t even know him like that, but he’ll always be an advocate for us. This man won’t ever know what it’s like to be someone’s father and that’s the most precious thing in the world to be somebody’s father. But he won’t ever be somebody’s father because he got in the ring to support his family, but now, his family gotta take care of him for the rest of his life. We don’t know if Robert will be the same after this, I just did a job.”
