Finnish-Swede Helenius was knocked completely unconscious with three seconds left in the opening round of their heavyweight main bout.
The victory was Wilder’s first since November 2019 which may set up a grudge match with Andy Ruiz Jr, although Oleksandr Usyk has always been the name on the horizon to fight Wilder.
In the video released by Wilder, he shared intimate moments with his beau Swift.
The American boxer had shared a clip of the song on his Instagram page and captioned it: ‘Here’s a snippet of my official video for me new single. Everytime ft. Marsellos Wilder.’
Deontay Wilder once claimed that he had traced his African heritage to Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.
