Wilder stops Helenius in first round

Former heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder knocked out Robert Helenius in the first round as the ‘Bronze Bomber’ made a winning return to boxing in Brooklyn, New York.

The American, 36, was stepping into the ring for the first time since his second successive knockout defeat by Tyson Fury last October.

He hit Finnish opponent Helenius flush in the face from his famous right hand with seconds left in the opening round.
