    Top of the mornin' lads! :thumbsup:

    note: the start is several hours yet hence. Doors at the O2 Arena open at 17:15 BST (aka quarter past 5pm in the GMT lent its name by the very city that hosts the venue - or quarter past noon EST) and coverage on DAZN begins from 7pm BST/GMT (2pm EST).

    Upper half of the bill is all heavyweights. Prepare for:

    AJ / Matchroom deserves a lot of credit for making the event happen tonight.

    Why? It is difficult to find opponent to take one million to face Joshua , and who can be beaten?

    In Eddie’s words the best non PPV card he has ever put on. I hope all DAZN subscribers know how lucky they are to have this as part of their package.

    I have heard that countless heavyweights contacted Matchroom to get the fight against AJ but it´s not that simple...

    AJ could very well have said no and waited for the fight against Wilder.

    I feel lucky :)

    When you think about how Eddie Hearn has previously referred to Helenius in a very bad way, the rhetoric from Hearn has changed when he refers to Helenius today...

    Really needs a tedious random 10 round women’s title fight to be truly considered ‘stacked’ though.

    Will be watching with my dad today. He says AJ is finishing on his back. Wishful thinking, but would love to see it. Helenius is such a great guy.

    Mckean vs hrgy bear will be the fight of the night.

    what makes the AJ fight interesting will be that wilder blasted out Helenius in 1 round so pressure is on AJ to get the job done early, the longer the fight goes the more it favours Robert. I don’t see AJ blasting him out like wilder did.

    Helenius will hit the deck and stay down first time he’s hit even half clean. AJ round 2 KO.

    Three years from now, Martossski and Hearn will be charging people Box Office to watch Campbell 'Hurricane' Hatton with a 36-0 record.

    I’m not sure I agree with that Astro, he was always going to box, regardless of whom it was against. This whole thing, the new trainer, the 24 potential rounds is just to get to the end game of the £100m Saudi money, most likely get ironed out by pipe cleaner legs and retire.
