This is a high-stakes heavyweight bout that could catapult the winner to a future fight with one of the bigger names in the division ala Andy Ruiz, Oleksandr Usyk, Joe Joyce, etc.
Deontay Wilder’s Betting Outlook vs Helenius
Wilder readies to return to the ring after being out of action for over a year after his series with Tyson Fury has seemingly concluded.
The former WBC world heavyweight champion even contemplated hanging up the gloves for good after his second straight loss to Fury but his vigor has been renewed all over again.
‘The Bronze Bomber’ has one of the most astonishing knockout rates in the rich history of heavyweight boxing.
He also put together an incredible ten defenses of his crown which puts him in rarefied air among the elites of his weight category.
Wilder vs Helenius Recent Fights
| Tyson Fury, loss via KO | Fight 1 | Adam Kownacki, win via TKO |
| Tyson Fury, loss via TKO | Fight 2 | Adam Kownacki, win via TKO |
| Luis Ortiz, win via KO | Fight 3 | Mateus Roberto Osorio, win via TKO |
| Dominic Breazeale, win via KO | Fight 4 | Gerald Washington, loss via KO |
The 2008 Olympic bronze medalist has had a remarkable boxing career by all accounts.
But Wilder seems quite motivated to carve out some great new memories in what he’s looking at as a second chapter in his career. To continue on this story, he must get through ‘The Nordic Nightmare’.
Robert Helenius’ Betting Outlook vs Wilder
Helenius knows Wilder quite well as the two sparred with one another quite extensively ahead of Wilder’s aforementioned trilogy versus Fury.
The two would even describe each other as friends outside of the immediacy of the war that is to be waged this weekend. Helenius has some of the best momentum of his career and a reignited fire inside him to achieve further glory and excellence.
Helenius seems emboldened being the underdog here, especially with his recent run featuring back-to-back underdog wins over Kownacki and his localized familiarity with Wilder.
Robert Helenius garnered this second Kownacki win on the Wilder vs Fury III undercard and the two now match skills a bit over one calendar year later.
Helenius has a deep amateur background of over 250 bouts that belies his pro disadvantage to Wilder. But Deontay Wilder’s four-inch reach advantage and his history-making, preternatural knockout power are obviously huge variables for him.

Deontay Wilder vs Robert Helenius Prediction
This prizefight is slated for twelve rounds but I don’t see the verdict of the judges playing a role in this. It makes sense why the prop bet on this fight not going the distance is situated at -750 as of this writing.
Furthermore, I think there’s value in pursuing prop bets on Wilder winning via KO or TKO (-450) and Wilder winning between rounds 4-6 (+190).
Pick: Deontay Wilder (-800)
