Robert Helenius is now the holder of the WBA Gold heavyweight title.

Earlier this year, Helenius, then # 7 in the WBA ratings, beat Adam Kownacki, then # 4, in what was billed as a WBA eliminator. In the new ratings released a few days ago Helenius is named Gold champion.

Exactly what is means to be Gold champ isn´t clear but the surprise win over Kownacki did earn the Nordic Nightmare a few more big fights.

Super champ is of course Anthony Joshua while the WBA heavyweight champion is Mahmoud Charr with Trevor Bryan as interim champ and # 1 ranked contender.
