Deontay Wilder needed just 3 punches to bounce back from Tyson Fury defeats with vicious KO

Watch Deontay Wilder brutally KO Robert Helenius

Robert Helenius entered his biggest fight to date with a solid record, which included impressive wins over Adam Kownacki, Erkan Teper, and Derek Chisora.

Unfortunately, he was not a match for Deontay Wilder, who KO’d him by landing just three punches.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ attempted 17 shots in total during his 177-second fight with Helenius.

In the final seconds of round one, Wilder uncorked a short right hand after finding himself trapped in the corner.

It didn’t look like much, but Helenius immediately collapsed to the floor, where he remained for quite some time.

The heavyweight from Finland was out cold, but his eyes were wide open during what was a scary post-fight scene.

It’s a win that has aged well for Wilder, as Anthony Joshua needed seven rounds to KO Helenius when they fought in August 2023.

Deontay Wilder’s next fight

Deontay Wilder’s career has taken a turn for the worse since his comeback win over Robert Helenius.

First, former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker beat him by decision in a huge upset.

Things went from bad to worse when Zhilei Zhang KO’d Wilder in round 5 of their June 2024 clash.

In June 2025, Wilder returned to winning ways but failed to impress as he TKO’d Tyrrell Anthony Herndon in seven rounds.

Since then, Wilder has been flirting with the idea of boxing former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

No official announcement has been made on when, where, or who Wilder will face in his next fight.
