“I have been ready for a fight ever since April. I signed a contract to fight Adam Kownacki but I don't know why that didn’t happen. Now Washington wants a fight against me and when I have beaten him I will beat Kownacki too,” Helenius says. Helenius is not keeping his future plans secret. “Sure, the plan is that we fight Kownacki later, we already have a contract for it. But I have to win this fight first and Washington is a very strong opponent – so I have to concentrate fully on this fight right now,” says Helenius.
