    Comments Thread For: Ustinov vs. Helenius Rumored For April in Finland

    Rumours have been lingering for about a week now regarding a possible heavyweight match-up between two mammoth-like contenders. It has been said in Russian media that Robert Helenius (19-0, 11 KOs), once a rising star and Finland’s prime hope in the sport’s elite division, is considering a comeback in late April against 30-1, 21 KOs, Russia-born Belarus-based somewhere in Finland. No confirmation to this story has been officially received.

    Hoping Helenius makes this comeback, Ustinov is a solid comeback opponent, he stands no chance whatsoever unless Helenius is completely done.

        Interesting matchup.

        So is Helenius free of Sauerland now, and is his hand healed?

          I wasnt aware Helenius was in fact a free agent, have you read anything to suggest otherwise ?

            Awesome news! I'm a huge Helenius fan and hope he can get back to top form. Surprised that he's facing such a dangerous foe in his first fight back.

              Great fight. A win against Ustinov and Robert's right back in the mix.

                I read many months ago that he was trying to break away from Sauerland, so perhaps he has by now.

                  The Nordic Nightmare, Robert Helenius, 19-0 (11), EBU # 2, WBO # 4 and IBF # 7, is ready to return to the ring after his injury related layoff, but Robert is moving back to Finland and is looking to break away from Sauerland Event, who have handled Helenius since he turned pro. There are some yet to be named businessmen who want to take over the promotional contract from Sauerland and there are ongoing negotiations to make that happen. Sauerland CEO, Chris Meyer, says there is a valid managerial contract with Wilfried Sauerland and a valid promotional deal with Sauerland Event - and Meyer states "we do insist on these contracts."


                  The Nordic Nightmare, Robert Helenius, 19-0, has begun sparring for a planned comeback in early 2014. Helenius and his new team have also settled the contractual dispute with Team Sauerland and according to Chris Meyer they are now discussing a co-promotion deal. Helenius is now trained by his father Kalle and will fight out of Finland. Robert has had only two fights since December of 2011 when he won a controversial points win over Dereck Chisora but suffered bad hand and shoulder injuries.

                    Great if he makes the comeback. I suppose he solved his contractual disputes with Sauerland.
