Tuscaloosa's Deontay Wilder returns to the ring this weekend

Deontay Wilder will be back in the boxing ring Saturday night to face Sweden's Robert Helenius.

Saturday night at the Barclay’s Center, Tuscaloosa native Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder will return to the ring when he takes on Stockholm, Sweden’s Robert “The Nordic Nightmare” Helenius.

“I only have three years that I want to dedicate myself to this business,” said Wilder, the former Budweiser route driver. “If you’re a busy person you understand that years go by like months.” “I’ve had a long career, and I know how I feel before fights. I feel more comfortable and more confident heading into this fight than I’ve felt in a long time,” Helenius said. “Beating Kownacki was key for me, and I know that without those victories, I would not be here.”

This fight card will also feature former IBF Super Middleweight Champion Nashville native Caleb “Sweethands” Plant and former two-time WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell. In the co-main event, these former champions, Plant and Dirrell, will face off at 168-pounds for a WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator bout.
