Deontay Wilder hopes Oleksandr Usyk will be ringside to see his fight with Robert Helenius next weekend.
The 'Bronze Bomber' is back in action when he returns to the ring for the first time since considering retirement after losing his trilogy bout with Tyson Fury. He will take on WBC contender Helenius at the Barclays Center in New York, and a win would see him retain his status as the No.1 ranked contender with the organisation.
However he could instead receive a shot at the unified WBO, IBF and WBA titles held by Ukrainian star Usyk, who has vowed to defend his titles against the 'Bronze Bomber' following his rematch victory over Anthony Joshua. And Wilder has vowed to ensure his heavyweight rival keeps his word with regards to a potential title chance.
