Deontay Wilder vs Robert Helenius Card, Date, Time, Location

Deontay Wilder returns to the boxing ring after a year as he gets ready for a WBC Heavyweight Title Eliminator bout against Robert Helenius on October 15, 2022.

The Bronze Bomber will headline an event at Barclays Center in New York City for the fourth time in his career. He will be attempting to get back on track after back-to-back losses to Tyson Fury. Those losses saw Wilder lose the WBC Heavyweight title which he had successfully retained 10 times in a row prior to those losses to Fury.

Wilder had almost given up on boxing as per his own admission. However, the fire in him sparked back during unveiling of his statue in his hometown. While this bout can be considered a tune-up fight, Robert Helenius might not be as straightforward a win as Wilder might be expecting.

Will it be a nightmare for @bronzebomber or will @helenius_robert fall victim to the power of Wilder’s power. One thing is certain, @barclayscenter will feel the shockwaves of #WilderHelenius on Saturday on @pbconfox PPV.
