Deontay Wilder moments ago delivered a crushing blow to Robert Helenius in the first round and won the eliminator fight for the World Boxing Council full world title held by Tyson Fury. Swipe left for the devastating KO!

The introduction of the fighters lasted longer than the fight itself. Wilder did not wait long and went all out as soon as the bell rang to start the fight.

Helenius took the punishment and went on top of his opponent to answer the offensive. As Wilder backed off and cornered himself, Helenius went forward in the hope of delivering telling blows on the American only to be met with a right hand from Wilder that sent the Swedish born Finnish boxer to the canvas with a blank stare.

From the looks of it, even if Helenius had been counted to 100 he wasn't going to recover from the crushing blow that has now earned the former world champion a shot at the world title.
