JAKARTA - Deontay Wilder wants to fight against Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk in the title fight. However, it's not that easy. He still has a lot of homework to do.

Losing two of three fights in a trilogy against Fury sent Wilder to the bottom on the list of the best heavyweight boxers in the world.

As a first step back to rise, Wilder will try to win the fight against Robert Helenius on October 15.

If Wilder wins over Helenius, he will think of another potential opponent, namely Andy Ruiz.

In the Podcast The Last Stand with Brian Custer, Wilder responded to Ruiz's challenge.

"You have to talk about things that really exist. On October 15 I have to go into business (against Helenius) first at the Brooklyn at the Barclays Center," Wilder was quoted as saying by Marca, Friday.

"Once I handle the business, I'm always confident... I can't wait to fight with Ruiz, for sure. And after the negotiation process is complete I will reveal some things to him he doesn't know. I have blessed him before. He didn't even know this. But I will reveal this to him.

Wilder has never fought with Ruiz. So whatever Wilder meant by saying he "has blessed Ruiz" was a cryptic message.
