Deontay Wilder broke down in tears following his KO win over Robert Helenius as he reflected on the dangers of boxing.
Wilder made an explosive return to the ring on Saturday night by putting Helenius to sleep with one of his trademark right-hand power punches.
It’s the first time that the American has fought since losing to Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout, and what a way to announce your return to the sport.
While Wilder will undoubtedly be delighted to have secured the victory – and in the manner which he did – he wasn’t so happy to see Helenius left in the state which he was.
Wilder, speaking to the media in wake of the fight, reflected on the dangers of boxing, referring to Prichard Colon and how his life has changed following his brain injury.
Wilder broke down in tears as he talked the media through his thoughts and was comforted by a member of his team. What a passionate monologue from the former heavyweight champion…
