Deontay Wilder has been told he needs to "learn how to box" if he is to have a successful comeback to the ring.
The 'Bronze Bomber' announced his plans to return to the ring several months after his defeat to Tyson Fury, having taken time away from the ring to consider his future. Upon his return, Wilder will take on the challenge of contender Robert Helenius on October 15 at the Barclays Center in New York.
Wilder showed he still has high-level skills knocking down Fury twice despite falling to a stoppage defeat of his own in the penultimate round of their third meeting. However former Olympic gold medalist Ray Mercer has delivered a brutal verdict on Wilder's career ahead of his return, suggesting he will only stand a chance if he develops his boxing skills.
