Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Whyte-Helenius has indeed been made for the undercard of AJ-Pulev.

 

The undercard is indeed disastrous, and they've hardly sold any tickets. Hennessay losing big money, they bought the rights to the fight for $3M

 

I've read on a German site, that there are rumours about Filip Hrgovic giving his pro debut on the Briedis-Perez undercard in just less than two weeks and that he is indeed signing with Sauerland.

 

I wonder if the fight between Whyte and Helenius will be for the vacant WBC Silver belt.

 

Gonna be really surprised if Whyte-Helenius happens. After that KTFO last year Helenius has fought three really low-level bums in his backyard in front of 100 people. Two of those fights lasted one minute or so and now he's going to be on AJ undercard against one of the biggest names in the division. All this while he's also been evidently ducking Duhaupas rematch lmao.

 

It's a pity because at one stage up to Chisora he looked like he was going to be a solid presence in the top 10. At 33 perhaps a Whyte fight will give him an opportunity to play the cards he has and see where he's at. If the money is decent maybe he should take it while it's on offer.

 

Helenius is going to get starched bad. Hope he can somehow pull it off though lol.

 

I really hope he takes it, could be a solid fight if he can bring his A game.

I remember Helenius' team clearly stating in 2011 that they can wait for the Klitschkos to retire and then take a shot at a title against someone more winnable lol. Well now would be the time.
