    It marks Wilder’s return to boxing having taken the year off following his trilogy defeat to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
    The 36-year-old will take on Swedish-Finnish Helenius, 38, and use it as a springboard to take on the top three heavyweights in the future.
    Wilder has ambitions of a fourth fight with Fury, as well as meetings with Anthony Joshua and WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk.
    All three bouts would add a large chunk of cash to his bank.

    Although purses for Saturday’s showdown between Wilder and Helenius are unknown, fans are being charged £67 in the US and £12.99 in the UK.
    But how do the two heavyweight’s net worth compare?
    Deontay Wilder – £27million
    The Alabama-born heavy hitter is only worth £27million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
    This is despite Wilder making a massive £33m in 2020 alone.

    That figure includes £360,000-a-year from endorsements and sponsorship.
    The most Wilder has taken home from one fight is £25m from his rematch with Fury.
    Wilder – who now holds a record of 42-2-1 with 41 knockouts – owns a number of luxurious cars and expensive jewellery.
    He plans on focussing on music once he retires from the ring.
    Whether that proves to be a massive money-maker for Wilder is yet to be seen.

    Deontay Wilder made £33m in 2020 alone
    Robert Helenius – £900,000 to £4million

    He has taken on the likes of Dillian Whyte, Adam Kownacki and Gerald Washington.
    However, the amounts he has taken home from those fights are tiny compared to what Wilder rakes in.
    For his rematch against Kownacki, Helenius earned a career-high purse of £67,000.
    despite this, the Nordic Nightmare has an estimated net worth between £900,000 and £4m.
