DEONTAY WILDER announced his return to the heavyweight division in trademark fashion after brutally knocking out Robert Helenius.
A right hand in round one left Helenius unconscious and out for the count, with Wilder back to winning ways.

The American has revealed he has just three more years left in his career and does not plan on wasting them.
Wilder, 36, finds himself in a position to challenge for the heavyweight title once more or against the division’s biggest stars.
So here, SunSport runs down what could be next for the Bronze Bomber.
Oleksandr Usyk
The Ukrainian called out Wider after the news that Tyson Fury, 34, was in talks to fight Anthony Joshua, 33.
He even claimed he would gatecrash Wilder’s comeback party but alas Usyk, 35, never showed.
Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel and the man himself have opened the door to the fight.
And Usyk is a TV free agent, meaning he could sign a US contract to get the deal over the line.

Andy Ruiz Jr
Wilder’s KO over Helenius, 38, was a WBC title eliminator bout, something Ruiz won in September against Luis Ortiz, 43.
The pair of Premier Boxing Champions stars are now set to meet in a final eliminator, where the winner is mandatory for Fury’s belt.
Both are signed to mysterious mogul Al Haymon, making a deal easier to negotiate than anything else on the market.
Wilder and Ruiz, 33, have given their blessing in the past, making this the most logical and likely fight next year.

Anthony Joshua
Wilder said a fight with long-time rival Joshua is the biggest in the world, ahead of a unification between Fury and Usyk.
But the problem, like has always been the case historically, is the rival promotional and TV ties getting in the way.
Although time is ticking for the heavyweight stars to finally settle their score and the time could be now.
Both AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn and Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel have previously left the door open to negotiations.

Joe Joyce
Joyce, 37, is the current WBO “interim” champion and in line to challenge for Usyk’s belt.
But he faces a wait to get his shot with hopes of an undisputed title bout next year.
It has left many questioning if Joyce’s iron chin could prevail against Wilder’s famously heavy hands.
And Joyce’s promoter has a good relationship with Wilder’s team, dating back to the trilogy series with Fury.

Dillian Whyte
Whyte, 34, was never granted a shot at Wilder’s WBC title, causing friction between the pair.
And with the two on the comeback trail, it could make for an intriguing fight with both at a crossroads in their career.
Whyte is not tied down to a promoter or network, meaning he is free to negotiate with Wilder.
But the Bronze Bomber may feel there is bigger fish to fry in the deep heavyweight waters.
