Deontay Wilder sets new punch record in stunning KO of Robert Helenius

Deontay Wilder broke the record for the least punches landed in a KO victory with just three connecting in his win over Robert Helenius.

The 'Bronze Bomber' was contemplating retirement from the sport after losing his trilogy fight with Tyson Fury last year, but elected to return to the ring against heavyweight contender Helenius. And in devastating fashion he needed just one round to close the show, detonating a huge right hand which left the Finnish star out cold on the canvas.
