Frank Warren has claimed Deontay Wilder will face Robert Helenius in October.
Wilder has been heavily linked with retirement from the sport after losing to Tyson Fury in their epic trilogy battle last October. The 'Bronze Bomber' initially confirmed his intentions to return to the heavyweight division, before promptly backtracking and taking a more reserved attitude to a comeback fight.
Several opponents have been touted to take on Wilder in his comeback clash including Otto Wallin and Andy Ruiz Jr. However boxing promoter Frank Warren appeared to confirm the American's plans when assessing the future of Joe Joyce. “I’d love to do that fight, but he’s [Deontay] coming off a bad knockout," Warren told talkSPORT when asked about Joyce's next opponent.
