    Robert Helenius vs. Gregory Tony on Aug 21 for European Union title

    This will be in Germany on the same card as Huck vs. Godfrey.

    Both of these heavyweights, Gregory Tony and Robert Helenius, are 12-0.

    Like Vitali Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin, Gregory Tony is a former kickboxing champion. This will be a competitive fight. Tony is no pushover.

    Robert Helenius has recently had surgery. He's had hand problems for years, and suffered a serious injury to his right hand in his last fight with Gbenga Oloukun. Robert struggled in the last few rounds of the Oloukun fight, being unable to punch hard enough with the injured hand to hurt his opponent.

    Hopefully with his hand fully healed, Helenius will be back to the form we saw in his fights with Taras *****ko and Lamon Brewster.

    Helenius is definitely a good prospect to keep an eye on. He has good size, has a good amateur background and is keen on fighting good opposition early on in his career. Hopefully he gets this injury behind him...

      I'm expecting wide UD or late stoppage from Helenius

        Helenius had a very high KO percentage in the amateurs, even knocking out some of the top super heavyweights.
