Well, that was easy.
In his return to the ring, Deontay Wilder knocked out Robert Helenius in the first round of their FOX pay-per-view heavyweight matchup on Saturday night.
It wasn't a long or productive night for Wilder, who mostly circled the ring before landing an explosive right on Helenius that floored the Swedish heavyweight at the 2:51 mark of the first round.

The fight was waved off within seconds.
In total, Wilder landed three punches on the night. Helenius landed five.
Wilder hadn't fought since suffering a KO loss to Tyson Fury on Oct. 9 of last year. To date, Wilder's lone two defeats have both come at the hands of Fury.
Saturday marked the 42nd knockout of Wilder's career.
