    People will pretend Helenius is ready for Joshua challenge because Helenius fought in castle against fat part-time Finn? You are thinking Helenius has full camp and sparring for Joshua , because Finn fought tradesperson? Joshua has two or three months training camp and Finn got from sofa to beat tradesperson last week , this is reality.

    Eddie talking over everyone to avoid any questions imo. Quite a dull listen this time round

    Also announced Robert Smith spoke to Frank Smith on Friday about the adverse finding which Eddie insisted wasn't true .....and Robert Smith since backtracked on.

    Not to mention there is absolutely no doubt that Helenius will have had a post-fight binge which will have included about a dozen pints or whatever the Fins drink.

    For sure , also Hearn began to sell Helenius by add 5/6cm to Finn stature.

    Made me laugh when Hearn told Jordan that he "is just a Disc Jockey".

    Ouch!

    Just heard about SJ’s cancer. Sad to hear. Seems every other day now in the news we hear of a famous person with either bowel or prostate cancer. Look after yourself fellas. Quit drinking and smoking, eat well and exercise. Cut out the processed food and eat real fibrous food. Fibrous fruit, vegetables and natural meats and fish. No processed ****.

    100% this.

    I know we all go back and forth debating our favoured boxers but I hope you all take CutThroats advice.

    Regarding Helenius I don’t mind it because the undercard is decent and I’m hoping we get Wilder AJ next, Helenius would lose even with a full camp dedicated to AJ so I don’t see the difference in him stepping in during the 12th hour.

    AJ to win by stoppage within 6…

    If anyone does a pole take this as my prediction

    I'm not a fan of this fight, it feels like going back to the days of AJ-Cornish, Molina, Johnson, etc, but... it's another included fight for those of us who subbed to DAZN.

    Can't blame Helenius for taking the payday either.

    I've little interest in defending this but that fails to take into account the past history between the two guys. Whyte is I think well past his best, but there's no doubt he's been a big figure in the Joshua story and, at least at one point, had managed to get himself into the upper reaches of the division. Outside of Fury and Joyce there wasn't a bigger domestic opponent for Joshua to face.

    Ed will be looking for Joshua to make a “statement” to Wilder, by taking out his rejuvenated former sparring partner.
    Recently the Nordic Nightmare had a growth spurt, now elongated to 6’ 9”, defying all the known rules of nature!
    What a treat at no extra cost to the subscriber. Remember,, Anthony has taken a “massive” pay cut, to keep the show alive.-

    I watched the fight Helenius had recently, he fought a very weak opponent so won't have been exhausted by it. But like another says above, he surely stopped training afterwards and it can't be healthy for a boxer to fight so soon, although as a HW he's not making weight so who knows the impact. It's got to be less than ideal.

    Selfishly I can watch it as part of my (admittedly rubbish) DAZN subscription now it's off PPV.
