    Helenius will lie down. This fight will make Joshua v. Molina seem like Frazier v. Ali.

    Bit of a silly fight to take imo. He should deal easily with helenius tbh. But bearing in mind wilder put him away in 1 round. Your really on a hiding to nothing if you cant do the same. Add to that helenius is a big fella. 250 lbs without needing to add heaps of fat to be that 250 lb like most of them.

    One thing they got wrong taking on ruiz the first time. Although ruiz was fat as a house....he was something like 268 lbs. Its not great to fight against if you,ve got potential stamina issues.

    If helenius does catch joshua with something big....it,ll be a struggle holding a six foot 8 250 lb man off if his stamina does deplete like we,ve seen before with joshua after getting hit.

    Not really a risky fight. The mans 39 years old taking the fight on a weeks notice. But its not exactly a great match up for joshua. Its a low risk fight but one where the low risk actually does have attributes that can potentially cause problems.

    Best description of him as a boxer I've read. That should be on his gravestone.

    Fight doesn't last 9 rounds, unless AJ just wants to work on things.

    Boxing is in AJ's blood. He probably trains 7 days a week.

    Helenius, on the other hand, is a journeyman. I think he does boxing as a hobby, training maybe once a month.

    It's impossible that Helenius beats AJ.

    What a huge upset it would be if he does manage to chin him.


    I simply can't see it happening TBH. But never say never Eh? Lol.

    Even if you like upsets, everyone should be cheering for Joshua so that we get Joshua/Wilder next.

    It isn't the mandible that's the problem, he better hope the viking doesn't shatter those fine China temples of his like Tubby did

    The disrespect being showed to Joshua is getting silly.Ok he is not the best but he is good and leagues above Helenius.Only those who are totally biased against Joshua could possibly think he will lose this fight.Expecting an apology on saturday night after joshua destroys him but somehow don`t think that will be the case

    Joshua’s been overhyped by the Brit’s since the beginning. He is not on the level of the top tier- Fury and Usyk, and Wilder would spark him out. He won controversially over Parker, and Fat Andy smokes him 6/10. But he is much better than shot Helenius and will KO him early. It’s another garbage fight. The big question is what type of mental display will Anthony provide us after the win.

    Agreed some people on here make out as if AJ is some total bum.

    Nah. Joshua has never been truly KO'd. With Ruiz it was a combination of shots after being concussed.

    I don't see Joshua being KO'd by a power puncher, it's combination punchers that are faster than him.

    Joshua's chin is underrated.
