    But Helenius declined because he has a match in december. Helenius and his team actually tried to postpone the title match by three weeks but Wilder declined.

    I'm pretty sure this is the better route for Helenius.

    They probably offered him something like $200,000.

    I'm guessing 200k would be Helenius biggest ever purse

    He was probably offered more to fight Povetkin but refused that too.

    Helenius is preparing to fight in sold out arena (13000) against Franz Rill. There's no point to cancel it at this point. Helenius would KO Wilder though.

    I've heard rumours about IBF wanting an eliminator between Joshua-Teper to determine the mando, which would make sense for Joshua too.

    Im a big fan of both but would prefer Helenius take a few tune ups to see where he stands after his long lay off. Had some high hopes for his career until he ran into some trouble and couldn't fight a few years. Had an off night against Chisora as well imo. Hopefully his career can rebound but glad he didn't take the fight no need to rush in a ruin a career for $200,000

    Since Wilder is such a overprotected glass jawed no power fraud, Helenius should have taken this easy route towards the prestigious WBC belt.
