The former heavyweight champion stepped back into the ring for the first time since his knockout defeat at the hands of Tyson Fury on Saturday night against Robert Helenius and in a devastating display, the powerful American landed only three punches on his opponent.
It was the third that turned the lights out.
As Helenius attempted to rush the former champion, Wilder stood in the corner and launched a right hand counter that landed clean on the face of Helenius and instantly sent him crashing to the canvas.
Wilder’s three-punch knockout victory is the fewest punches ever needed to secure a win.
Wilder torched his way through the heavyweight division with his nuke-like right hand power and climbed his way to the mountain top.
It’s Wilder’s first knockout victory inside the ring since November 2019 when he demolished Luis Ortiz.
The 36-year-old, known as “The Bronze Bomber”, put the rest of his rivals on notice and after the resounding victory was ready for any challenger that wanted him.
From Andy Ruiz to Oleksandr Usyk, Wilder wants a piece of everyone as he attempts to climb the mountain once again.
“I’m down for whatever. Whether it’s Andy Ruiz, whether it’s [Oleksandr] Usyk. The Bronze Bomber is back!” he said.
Fans watching on couldn’t believe the showing the former champ put on in less than one round of pure destruction.
Wilder made quick work of Robert Helenius on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, knocking out the Finnish boxer in the very first round with a brutal right hand.
