Deontay Wilder fails to call out Anthony Joshua after stunning KO victory

Deontay Wilder did not include Anthony Joshua in his post-fight call-out list after stopping Robert Helenius within one round on his comeback.

The 'Bronze Bomber' made his heavyweight return for the first time since losing his trilogy bout with Tyson Fury last year, when he faced contender Robert Helenius at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Wilder showed once again why his power is the most feared in the division after detonating a huge right hand to close the show in the opening round, with just seconds to go until the second stanza.

There are a whole host of fights that have been talked up by the American prior to his latest win including a shot at long-term rival Joshua, who recently lost his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk. However following his latest one-punch KO, he instead elected to put forward the name of Joshua's recent conqueror alongside Andy Ruiz Jr as potential opponents next.
