    What a load of utter bollocks. If that was the case he would NEVER have boxed that night to risk getting a cut etc because the money would here will dwarf whatever pittance he received for boxing a Finish ice sculptor.

    “Joshua comes out on the front foot looking positive”

    …yet by that point hadn’t thrown a punch

    Awful commentary, I don’t remember him losing to Wilder for the ‘world title’ last time out. Facepalm.

    Round 1

    Both run to meet at ring center. Helenius is the one to keep pressing forward as Joshua skitters around the perimeter, back scraping the ropes. Helenius blocks a few jabs, then a right hand. Helenius is stalking, looking for an opening, then lunges with a jab trotting in as Joshua backpedals. Neither has landed anything a minute in. Keeping each other honest with jabs, but not scoring them. Helenius opens up with a jab and looping right combo, forcing Joshua to quickly fall back and cover up. Lead right from Joshua just narrowly misses as Helenius moves his head. They fence with the jab and Joshua's gets closer, maybe just taps Helenius' beard. Body jab by Helenius.

    10-9 Helenius, interesting chess match opener

    No, his team knew but not Helenius until after the fight. His opponent was terrible so there wasn’t really any risk. Helenius also wanted to get paid. You can’t just cancel the main event on a few hours notice! Do you live in the real-world?

    I’ll just let you believe what you want to believe though.
