(Reuters) - Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will return to the ring against Finland's Robert Helenius on Oct. 15, his first fight since the completion of his trilogy against Tyson Fury last year, the American's promoters said.

Wilder (42-2-1) was stopped in the 11th round by Fury in Las Vegas for his second straight loss to the Briton, who retained the WBC heavyweight title. Their first fight in December 2018 ended in a split draw.
