Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua To Now Face Robert Helenius

[Slipthepunch]

Still a better opponent than Ngganou...

Well not many if any opponents to choose from on just 1 week from fight night. I’m just glad the card got saved and that the fights are still a go minus Whyte. I’ll take it, something is better than nothing. Then after this one the Joshua-Wilder fight will be made next.

Don’t know what everyone is complaining about, it’s not like the Shyte fight was any good and rumored Chisora was arse too. I think Helenius might be the best matchup of the 3 but yes it still sucks.

What is this a joke? Easy work! I wonder how many seconds Helenius last? Unless AJ decides to carry him because obviously he is coming to lay down for a pay check.

Whyte is a better fighter than Helenius and has beaten him.

Although he's certainly not one of best heavyweights, Whyte has only ever lost to Joshua, Fury and Povetkin and he avenged the Povetkin one.

Helenius has lost to bums like Washington. He can punch but he will look for a comfy place on the canvas as soon as he feels a heavy shot, as usual.

Sure, but RH fought DW on a short notice and won the first two rds even hurting Whyte but had to back off before gassing out (yes, Robert´s engine is poor even with a full camp). And the Povetkin rematch, I wouldn´t write songs about beating a 41 yo man who´s still recovering from covid.. in short, AJ just went from a mismatch to another mismatch.

DAZN giving its subscribers nothing but the best matchups. Great value for their money.

Eddie (9 months ago): Helenius is past his prime. Who wants to see that?
Eddie (this morning): Helenius is a difficult fight for Joshua.

[Apollo7]

Well at least he's fighting someone rather than cancelling. Also sets up a potential Wilder fight in a way. I'm in no rush to watch it though.

Still a much better fight than Fury vs Ngannou.

Helenius just annihilated an undefeated fighter on Saturday so he's in fighting shape. WAR Helenius
