Tyson Fury is confident Deontay Wilder will knock out Robert Helenius when the pair square off in New York this weekend in the American's comeback fight.
Wilder and Fury's epic trilogy will have been just over a year ago when the former steps back into the ring on Saturday after flirting with the prospect of retirement. The hard-hitting American had never been beaten as a professional before meeting Fury, but couldn't beat the Brit at three different attempts; drawing their first meeting before being viciously knocked out in their two rematches.
And he's not making it easy for himself as he returns to action against the 6'7" Finn Helenius who believes he has a claim to the No.1 contender spot with the WBA after two brutal knockout wins over Adam Kownacki. Wilder has been told a win over Helenius could set up an eliminator for Fury's WBC belt with Andy Ruiz.
