Former two-time European heavyweight champion
Joshua wins via 7th-round KO
Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius , was a heavyweight professional boxing match between former WBA (Super) , IBF , WBO , and IBO heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius .
The bout was originally scheduled as Dillian Whyte vs. Anthony Joshua II, a rematch of the 12 December 2015 bout . This was cancelled and Helenius replaced Whyte after Whyte returned a positive drug test conducted by the voluntary anti-doping agency.[3] [4] [5]
The bout took place on 12 August 2023 at The O2 Arena in London , England. Joshua defeated Helenius via knockout in the 7th round.[6]
Background [ edit ]
Following Joshua's unanimous decision victory against Jermaine Franklin in April 2023 , Joshua stated that he plans to have one more bout before his rumoured bout with Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia . On 6 July, 2023 it was announced that Joshua would rematch Dillian Whyte on 12 August at The O2 Arena in London , England on DAZN PPV . On 5 August, it was announced that Whyte returned a positive drug test conducted by the voluntary anti-doping agency.[7] Gerald Washington and Derek Chisora were considered to replace Whyte. Helenius was announced on 8 August 2023 as the replacement fighter.[8] [9] free-to-air [10]
The fight [ edit ]
After boxing relativity tentatively for the first six round, Joshua scored a one punch knockout in the 7th, with a double feint followed by a right sending the Finn to the canvas, with referee Victor Loughlin stopping the bout without completing a count.[11]
Aftermath [ edit ]
After bout there was immediately talk of a long awaited bout with fellow former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder , possibly in January 2024.[12]
