Joshua vs Helenius preview
After Whyte’s reports were revealed, Matchroom was under extreme pressure to find a suitable opponent for Joshua to fight this weekend. With four heavyweights in the undercard, they had to look elsewhere. Many considered Derek Chisora a potential candidate to face Joshua; however, the two-time champion got ‘The Nordic Nightmare.’
“There were a lot of options. But we had to ensure it was the proper fight for the right deal. I think Robert Helenius is a good fight. Yes, he lost to Deontay Wilder, but that was by a shot that would have probably knocked out a horse! But he came to fight. He can punch, he’s 6ft 8in, and he won at the weekend. Ultimately there is criticism in whatever you do, but this is a tricky and dangerous fight. Matchroom Sport chairman, Eddie Hearn, said.
