Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Believes Deontay Wilder Will Return Against Helenius

[JakeTheBoxer]

It will be fun as long as it lasts. I will watch. Two unskilled guys with heavy hands.

I would love to see Wilder against Dubois, Joyce, Usyk, AJ or Sanchez.

I believe Usyk and Sanchez beat him.

Glad he’s coming back. Hope he’s not badly faded. Better not be for an interim title. No more of those

Helenius is a good opponent for a comeback fight.

Wilder brings excitment and as with these massive punchers it's edge of the seat stuff all the time.I'd pick Wilder over all except Fury of course.I'm sure Robert will be KO'd for his troubles.

[PBR Streetgang]

Helenius and Wilder have sparred a good amount IIRC. Nordic Nightmare has heavy hands but not quite Wilder level.

Someone will get sparked out in magnificent fashion and it most likely will be Helenius.

I hate to say it but Wilder would fuck him up! Helenius was KO by Gerald Washington. The same man who was KO by Deontay Wilder.

Helenius will be a dangerous test. He's sparred Wilder a lot in recent years, he knows him well (when Wilder wa healthy). Coupled with Wilder having to find out if he can even take shots to the head, this could be a huge test ... whereas prior to the Fury fights it probably would have been a countdown until Heleniuswas dropped.

Actually, until Wilder survives a serious head shot, almost any fighter is gonna be dangerous for him. Fortunately Wilder is just as dangerous to most anyone.

Generally HW's have an up and down road after being severly KO'd (historically). Hopefully sparring will determine how fit Wilder is, and if he can continue taking the risks. It adds even more intrigue to any fight he takes now. I'm not sure I think it's a good idea. But, it will be must-see TV.

I'd rather see him in there vs Dubois, Klownacki, Ruiz. Although Helenius would be dangerous for him since the
'50k overhaul' he went thru a couple years back. Like others have said though, Wilder's chin will be the big question mark.

id watch it good comeback fight for wilder

[NC Uppercut]

Even though Wilder is a seasoned veteran, a tune up fight is wise. He needs to employ a good trainer, and not the bum that he used in Fury III. He needs to work on adjustments in a tune up that will prepare him for the likes of Ruiz, Usyk, and Joshua, since he can't box.

Come on man. Helienus was his sparring partner for the Fury trilogy. It’s a damn scam if it happens….it’s him fighting Malik Scott all over, except now Malik will be training Wilder. To be sure Wilder will do something else rather than waste a fight with an old sparring partner!
