Finnish heavyweight contender, Robert Helenius, will return to action against former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, on October 15. Helenius made his mark in the division after consecutive stoppage wins over the previously unbeaten boxer, Adam Kownacki.

Moreover, in his second bout, he secured a sensational 6th-round TKO victory over Kownacki in Helenius’ last outing on the Fury-Wilder 3 undercard. The 38-year-old has won six of his last seven bouts and will be looking to add another win against Wilder. So here is a look into his net worth and career earnings ahead of this anticipated matchup.

The ‘Nordic Nightmare,’ reportedly, has an estimated net worth of $5 million in 2022. Despite his current status as a millionaire, Helenius earned just $10,000 after winning his first title back in 2010. He then went on to earn around $30,000 for his title defense against Dereck Chisora, back in 2011. Helenius’ paycheck saw a rise in 2017, following his loss to Dillian Whyte, for which he earned $50,000.

His victory over Adam Kownacki only saw him earn $30,000 and $75,000 in the rematch. However, these purses do not include the PPV shares he earned. The Finnish boxer will earn the biggest paycheck of his career against Wilder, as he is by far the biggest name, he will face in his career.

Tyson Fury thinks Deontay Wilder will KO Helenius

The WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has a good experience of what it’s like to be in the ring with The Bronze Bomber. The pair have had a historic rivalry competing in three matches. Despite Fury getting the better of Wilder on two occasions, he has an idea of Wilder’s power. In an interview, he claimed that despite Helenius being one of the best heavyweights, he will be knocked out by the former Olympian.

“I think that Helenius is a good fighter, I think that he’s No.1-ranked with the WBA or he should be if he’s not. I think he did an eliminator with Adam Kownacki and I just think that Wilder is a monster puncher and as soon as he lands on Helenius he’s out,” said Fury

Wilder will certainly be the favorite to win the fight. However, he is coming off a devastating loss against Fury. This will be a great chance for both fighters to prove themselves as title contenders and challenge for championships in the future.
