    I expect combos to rattle off of Sprotts cranium and Helenius landing multiple shots in quick succession isn't good news for most heavyweights.

    Would be great if Sprott could somehow get a result in this, he'd then get big money to fight Price for the European title.

    Helenius should win, probably via stoppage. But I would not be hugely shocked if Sprott pulled off the upset. I think that on his day he's a quality operator, and a big underachiever.

    Helenius KO

    Sprott is adecent journeyman but nothing more. Honestly, Helenius should be fighting better now... he should be fighting the likes of Thompson and Johnson like Price and Fury are.

    He slurs his words really badly.

    I thought that too :-(, but then again I'm not that familiar with Sprott speaking so I'm just hoping this is something he's always done.

    Fair play to Sprott, thought he was done after being ko'ed by Audley, then thought he was done after losing to Tye Fields in Prizefighter, then REALLY thought he was done after he lost to Kubrat Pulev but he's like a cat with the amount of lives he seems to have, good win last time out and be nice to see him get a result in this, he comes across as a nice guy and always replies back on Twitter and such.

    Pulling for him in this.

    Helenius is fat, ****, hideous, slow and generally awful, but i would hope for the sake of the Heavyweight division that he has enough to beat a shot Michael Sprott.
