    Seems like the press are making the wilder vs ruiz fight a foregone conclusion.

    helenius is a live dog against wilder imo, he’s got nothing to lose and who knows what wilder will be like in the ring mentally after getting battered by fury

    Helenius is Fury Lite and was Wilder's main sparring partner for them bouts

    He picked Helenius for a reason.

    Sure he has a chance. Depends what Wilder has left.

    Sure. He has the proverbial puncher's chance.

    Helenius has been plagued by injuries to his right hand, shoulder and throat, so you never know which Wilder you are going to get. If he comes in form and lands the right hand, its a long night for Wilder.

    That being said, Wilder is the clear and obvious favorite. I give him some credit if this fight goes through.

    Actually think wilder seems to be in a pretty good place mentally so i don't expect to see him cautious or anything , however injury free helenius is no joke with the power he has and the fundamentals, not an explosive or fast heavyweight but very capable

    Looking forward to this one more than any Wilder fight bar Fury 2, expect Wilder by KO but would not bet on it

    Helenius is definitely a live dog here.

    Helenius's best days are behind him. He was a good match up against the no-defense Kownacki and he looked good because Kownacki was overrated.

    If this was a 30 year old Helenius, he'd have a chance, but a slow 38 year old... he's going to be easy to hit.

    He has a puncher's chance, but Wilder is rightfully the big favorite to win this fight.

    Robert Helenius has the height the reach and the power to upset Wilder.

    I can't see him winning. Weak jaw and easily hit even in his prime.

    Chisora beat him over a decade ago.

    I’m also predicting an early ko win for Wilder. I’d like to see Helenius make a fight though.
