Helenius Enters IBF Top 10, Plans To Punish Levin

Levin had delivered a video message to a packed press conference at Hartwall Areena before answering questions in a video conference. “Helenius is not going to knock me out,” he said. “It will be the other way round. His talk only motivates me. I am in great shape already. I will silence the Finnish fans in Helsinki and kick Robert´s butt – just as Sweden always beats Finland.” Much to the delight of the media, Helenius posed for pictures with a cardboard version of the challenger which was wearing a skirt.

Helenius said he was ready for another tough challenge. “My goal is to be world champion one day and in order to keep moving up the rankings, I will beat whoever I get in the ring with,” he said. In the latest IBF rankings, Helenius has climbed as high as #10. “That is a big honour but I am determined to rise even higher,” he said. “That is why I need to beat Levin.”
