    Hellenius would be a safe bet and a good scalp for Joshua. Robert looks really shot.

    Depending on how he looks vs Chisora then yes.

    It really depends if management would want him to be chasing the IBF title this quickly...because if he beats Chisora, and then Teper/Helinius, he will be positioned in the #1 mandatory spot. BUT if he gets a workout, and shows that he still has a number of aspects to work on (like after the Whyte fight), he may bide his time with a journeyman after Chisora...and there will be a number of options in 2016 to choose from.

    Putting on my New Zealand hat, Joshua's camp may be aware though that another HW prospect coming through could skip them to the mandatory if Joshua takes a breather post Chisora. Joseph Parker could be there of thereabouts if he gets to fight Takam in April.

    It will be an interesting 2016 in the HW division, regardless on what nationality you may be rooting for.

    The winner of Martin v Glazkov will fight Wilder in a unification bout, which will cause the young prospects to review their options.

    I still see AJ going for Teper (I think he beats Helenius), for the Euro belt, but even if Parker beats Takam, and goes straight to mandatory, does he want to fight Wilder at age 24 with less than 20 pro fights?

    They may throw him in as I believe Parker's style would completely mess with Wilder's lack of style. I don't want to hijack the thread regarding AJ vs Chisora, but 2016 will be when I think AJ and JP will be thrown into the deep end, and will do very well.

    Reports circling as of a few hours ago of Teper being found out as a ped cheat. Might be hearsay but its picking up steam. Helinius lost against Chisora, looks poor constantly and would be destroyed by Joshua / Wilder

    Joshua went life and death with Dillian Whyte so I don't see why Hellenius can't match that.

    Because he is useless. helenius would be KO ed in short order by whyte never mind Joshua would not see the third rd .the bloke is target practice for the HW division that's all.

    Helenius has never had a decent fight after his 'win' over Chisora.
    I would like to see the Helenius-Teper match (I favour the Turkish German in that one) and let the winner face Joshua.

    Just to remind you Femi has beat one guy, Dillian Whyte, who had a popped shoulder and had him out on his feet. He was lucky that happened as Femi was hardly moving mid rounds.

    From what I saw of Helenius against Rill a fight between Joshua and Helenius for the European title wouldn't be out of the question. Helenius looked poor, no jab, no head movement, poor footwork. Still a dangerous fight as Helenius can bang but Joshua is far more skilled.

    Pretty easy fight for Joshua. But would be interesting to watch given that Helenius probably has a good chin and back in the day he had a relatively quick right hand.

    Helenius ended in that del boy bout. He has never been the same since, and Joshua would make easy work of him.
