  • 3 of Deontay Wilder’s 6 last wins have come between rounds 6-8

Deontay Wilder Form


Deontay Wilder is looking to kick-start his career after a year-long absence from the boxing ring.

Wilder became a world champion in January 2015 when he earned a decision win against Bermane Stiverne.

He then reeled off seven successful defences of the WBC heavyweight title before facing Tyson Fury for the first time.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ held on to the belt that night, but did it via a controversial split decision draw after being largely outclassed by Fury for 12 rounds.

Wilder got back to his knock out ways in his next outing as he took out Dominic Breazeale in 137 second.

He then knocked out Luis Ortiz in the seventh round to set up another meeting with Fury.

The 36-year-old American was again outclassed by the British fighter, but on this night Fury took it out of the judges’ hands by stopping Wilder in the seventh.

When the two men rematched just over a year ago, Fury again dominated Wilder before stopping him in the 11th.

That defeat left Wilder with a 42-2-1 record, with 41 of his 42 victories coming via stoppage.

Robert Helenius Form


Robert Helenius is riding a three-fight win streak into the biggest fight of his career so far.

The 38-year-old journeyman is a former European champion who holds a win over Derek Chisora.

He suffered his first career defeat in April 2016 when he was knocked out by Johann Duhaupas in the sixth round.

Helenius responded well though, sparking a three-fight winning run with a 49-second stoppage of Konstantin Airich.

He then knocked out Gonzalo Basile in just 48 seconds before beating Evgeny Orlov by sixth-round stoppage, only to see his run halted by a unanimous decision loss to Dillian Whyte.

The Swedish-Finnish fighter rebounded with a couple of decision wins against Yury Bykhautsou.

Helenius then backed them up with an eighth-round stoppage of Erkan Teper, but once again his streak was ended at three fights.

This time the veteran heavyweight was stopped inside eight rounds by Gerald Washington.

He has again avoided back-to-back losses though, following up a second-round finish of Mateus Roberto Osorio with two TKO wins against Adam Kownacki.

Those victories improved Helenius’ record to 31-3, with 20 wins and two defeats coming by stoppage.
