Deontay Wilder will be capping off a huge day for boxing on Saturday night when he takes on Robert Helenius at the Barclays Center in New York City. Their fight comes after Claressa Shields takes on Savannah Marshall in the UK and Devin Haney rematches George Kambosos Jr. down under.
Wilder will be looking to get on track versus ‘The Nordic Nightmare’, having not appeared in the ring since his KO loss to Tyson Fury in October, 2021. That loss followed a TKO loss to Fury in 2020. The Fury defeats dropped Wilder’s record to 42-2-1. Helenius will be looking to spoil Wilder’s return, though. He’s got a 31-3 record and is coming off two wins over Adam Kownacki.
The co-main is Caleb Plant, who was TKO’d by Canelo Alvarez last time out. He faces Anthony Dirrell.
The event starts off late on Saturday night, going live at 11 p.m ET with ring walks for Wilder and Helenius expected at around midnight.
