There were only a few punches landed in this fight and Helenius was a sparring partner for Wilder. It would be possible that it was planned for Helenius to go down early. Sure it was a good punch but why would a sparring partner try to corner a hard puncher unless Wilder was hurt. And Wilder was not fazed by the few punches Helenius landed. In Wilders recent fights he has tired early so why not just stay in the fight and use his weight to wear Wilder down?
Was this just a farewell retirement payout for Helenius? Very possible.
The fact that Helenius was going after Wilder in the first round and the fact that he retired after the fight is fishy.
