    That fight would have been better than the Whyte fight and had credibility.

    A winnable fight with risk is what he needs not a formality against Whyte or Helenius.

    Agree but Joshua can never be two of division after this embarrassing of Ruiz in USA. How it can be possible?

    Helenius told that he will retire after Wilder loss , but he is typical boxer who is unable to finish the career.

    That logic is stupid

    So Lewis getting knocked out by Rahman for example means he can never be considered number 1 or 2 in his era?

    Lewis victories from other/some good/top of era. Joshua put above Klitschko as only victory. Who other for legacy definition? Parker? Povetkin? It is stupid , for me , and you are calling stupid. It is ok to be rude ? Your opinion SUCK.

    Who's mentioned resumes or legacy numb nuts?

    You said after losing to Andy Ruiz it's impossible to ever become number 2 in the HW divison

    You of course can, and whilst you may think my opinions "suck" im afraid what I've said is a fact

    If he struggles at all with Helenius it's going to raise questions about Usyk's HW credentials.

    Those questions would have been answered if Ducker Fury took the fight.

    Usyk is a warrior, a genuine fighting man and ready to step in the ring with anyone.

    Pity Joshua and Fury don't have the same desire.

    Helenius has won the lottery with this fight. Last Saturday he would have earned what ?? £25,000 for an easy fight in Finland. This Saturday he is supposedly going to earn £1.5 million. I believe his highest ever purse prior to that was $1 million against Wilder.
    I have no idea but that fight he has just had maybe was him wanting to go out on a win before retiring. The AJ fight makes his retirement pot a bit bigger now.

    Yeah right place, right time I suppose. They can almost make it sound passable because he "redeemed himself" from the Wilder loss with a K.O win last weekend in Finland haha. Can't knock the hustle!

    Don’t like Wilder so didn’t see his Helenius fight but wow I forgot how bad that Helenius is. That ko for any pro fighter should just never happen square on, hands wide apart for some bizarre reason against someone who can only beat you if he knocks you out haha. It looks like something you’d see in a spar if 2 50 year old novices had a go for a laugh.

    If Joshua loses to this lad he needs to go and live somewhere like they are on that Channel 4 programme ‘Alone’ and never be seen again.

    Realistically it should be Joshua inside 2 or 3 rounds. It’s a walkover fight.
