The Bronze Bomber claimed his 42nd KO against the heavyweight contender by landing a devastating right hand on his chin during the first round of their bout.
Helenius was taken to hospital immediately as concerning images showed the Finnish boxer lying motionless on the floor directly after the knockout.
Reaching out while his opponent was on the floor, Wilder said, “Bro, are you okay? I love you man. I’m sorry.”
Helenius responded, “I love you too. Don’t be sorry. I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a better fight.”
Wilder added, “You did great. You did great. You did great’, before asking again if Helenius was okay.”
WOW.
