Helenius (as well as Kubrat Pulev) has been impressive so far. I'm looking forward to watching his fights in 2011, now more so if he's in the IBF four-fighter eliminator.

Good to see some new talent in the heavyweight division.

I'm glad Helenius has decided to participate in this tourney. He's one of the better European hw prospects out there, due to his high level of competition so early on in his career (14-0). He also fights on a consistent basis and has decent KO power. Hopefully, with three slots filled, the fourth slot will go to another capable and decent contender...

What about Jonathon Banks? I heard he was being considered for this tourney...

Here's a translated link to the story.

Is it saying Helenius will fight JC Gomez in the IBF tournament?

Luan Krasniqi baby !

Luan Krasniqi baby !

I was wondering about that. Why is he fighting Krasniqi? It will apparently be televised by RTL without a Klitschko fight.

I was wondering about that. Why is he fighting Krasniqi? It will apparently be televised by RTL without a Klitschko fight.

Im still wondering.

a rematch with Sascha was the plan, but than the handlers noticed that Luan was going to beat Dimitrenko easily before that lucky/unhappy punch landed.

for Banks its ching ching w/ big Tv money and a shot to **** Krasniqi. I mean not a bad deal...
