Deontay Wilder: Robert Helenius' face after being knocked out by Bronze Bomber

Deontay Wilder made a successful comeback to the sport of boxing this evening following his back-to-back defeats to Tyson Fury with a monstrous first-round knockout of Robert Helenius.

From the off, Helenius was putting the pressure on early and walking Wilder down, but you could say he walked too close to the Bronze Bomber, which ultimately left him on his back on the canvas.

Helenius of all people should know that when fighting Wilder, walking him down has always proven to be a big risk.

For those that were not aware, the two have sparred together a lot in the past so they know each other very well.

Helenius had Wilder backed up against the ropes, but that's when it all went wrong.

With Helenius looking to execute the perfect game plan, Wilder landed a devastating right hand whilst against the ropes to finish the fight.

It is fair to say that the right hand was out of this world.

Coming into the fight, Wilder has been dubbed as one of the hardest-hitting heavyweights in the history of the division.

The right hand from the Bronze Bomber quite simply stunned the European, dropping him to the canvas in a matter of seconds.

After the referee waved the fight off, the cameras were quick to zoom in on Helenius’ face. His shocked state showed just how hard Wilder can hit.
