Deontay Wilder breaks down & cries in emotional presser after Robert Helenius win

Deontay Wilder returned to boxing with a bang following his first round knockout victory over Robert Helenius in Brooklyn, making it 42 knockouts in his 43 wins, what a scary record.

It was a relatively easy night for The Bronze Bomber, who only landed three punches all night, but that third one was enough to leave his opponent down and out on the canvas, giving him the perfect return to action.

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.

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.

Wilder said: “My heart goes out to him and I hope he’s doing ok [Robert Helenius], he’s gonna be able to go back to his family. You know, people always going on about records and all this oh he lost and he’s a bum and all that, get your bum ass in there. That’s a great knockout, he’s devastating and making history and stuff like that.

“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.”
