Deontay Wilder vs Robert Helenius: Huge shot on Luis Ortiz in slow-mo

Anticipation is building ahead of Deontay Wilder’s return to the ring.

The former WBC heavyweight world champion will take on Robert Helenius in Brooklyn on Saturday, October 15.

The Nordic Nightmare, meanwhile, has won his last three fights and has, in the past, proved to be a thorn in the side of former heavyweight champions such as Lamon Brewster and Samuel Peter.

A video from his 2018 victory over Luis Ortiz which showcases his hammer-like right hand has been posted on Twitter.
