    I don’t get why he didn’t get Bakole or Wallin

    a slight risk right rather than a zero risk one.

    AJ is not going to take on a tough
    Because both are arguably harder opponents than Whyte, its less than 7 days notice and they will want compensating heavily for taking a short notice fight which wont be able to be offered seeing as its no longer PPV. A lets be real, they want minimal risk, especially after they've been burnt in the past when taking fights on short notice (Ruiz).

    @Beale I think you and a few others said before that Helenius would have been celebrating after his win so might not be fully ready.

    In fact, Helenius and his team already contacted Matchroom putting him as an option before he fought on Saturday. So Helenius is in good condition for Saturday night.

    Would love to see Helenius pull the shock off and knock him out but think the chances of it happening are between zero and **** all.

    Because his team used a phone?

    That's proof he is in good condition?

    No chance of them just wanting that payday?

    Saw an interview with Helenius where he stated that he felt he won the lottery.

    Don't think he comes with much ambition, but let´s hope we´ll get a good fight on saturday.

    Although I’m pleased AJ is at least fighting and the fight is on regular DAZN, Helenius is very chinny and will go down and stay down the first time AJ lands clean.

    Predicting a round 2 KO.

    It depends on which version of AJ shows up on Saturday. Is he still gunshy like we saw against Franklin ?

    I'm going for a AJ victory. KO round 3 - 5.
