“You were the one on the ground. I was standing on top of you. You ever heard of David and Goliath? You know what happened? It’s gonna happen to you.”
However, Fury made easy work of Wilder in the rematch, securing a stoppage victory in the seventh round.

Knockout

Deontay Wilder’s first-round KO from Robert Helenius looks even better in the slow motion footage that has since surfaced.

The Bronze Bomber is known for its destructive power and returned with a bang on Saturday night in New York in its first fight since losing his trilogy with Tyson Fury last October.

The Finnish fighter was flat on his back inside the opening round after being hammered with a hard, short right hand.

Some questioned KO as Wilder lands the shot in a flash.

However, the slow motion footage proved that it certainly landed on Hellenius’s head.
