October 15 Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) will face Robert Helenius (31-3, 20 KOs), although lately the media have been talking mainly about a possible fight between an American and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). Therefore, during yesterday's press training, the Bronze Bomber had to answer questions related to the Ukrainian champion.
“This is music to my ears [that Usyk wants to fight me]. Usyk is a very honest person and he keeps his word, so I'm looking forward to this duel... A fight for the belt? You have to agree to this,” Wilder said.
Malik Scott, Wilder's coach, is also positive about the meeting with the Ukrainian: “Trust me, Deontay is now the only heavyweight who can beat Oleksandr Usyk. He will become a two-time world champion, but this time he will win all the belts, ”Scott said.
