Good fight.I got Helenius by decision.

Good fight to get Robert Helenius back into the HW mix. 5 years ago I was touting this guy as a top heavyweight contender but management disputes and injuries sidelined Robert and put his career on hold.

Good fight. The winner will probably face Joshua at some point too.

Great match up, two hard hitting heavies who can both take a punch, or at least have proven their durability, unlike some of these other big hitting prospects around right now.

The IBF ranking on offer I assume is going to be significant, like the no.2 spot. I'd like to see Helenius win this, Chisora could not even remotely come close to stopping the guy, it will be interesting to see if he can take Teper's power punches down the stretch.

What does a win over Chisora prove for either one of these guys upon them emerging victorious over the other. Chisora is a nobody at this stage, those beatings he sustained at the hands of Haye and Klitschko he hasn't been the same man since, dude has no soul, heart or ambition now. The dude is a shell.

Dangerous fight for both. I wonder if Helenius can get enough quality sparring for this, his timing was awful in his last fight. He beat that Beka something with brute strength alone but thatīs not going to work vs Teper..
