..and opponent ranking is? i think he should take someone in his own ranking level. Of course i understand money is one meaning point and Helenius doesnt have it. Hopefully late this year is tought opponent and climbing up by ranking.
The opponents name is Kenneth Odeke, Uganda HW champion with a pro record of 5-1. Now Helenius made a career out of fighting bums, but this is beyond absurd even for him. Is Brian Nielsen managing him and choosing opponents on his behalf? That's the only logical reason I can think of.
Thats why he fought here in Estonia, he saw an opportunity to get back in the ring and to do his thing. Helenius has to get some momentum going and being active will give him just that.
Helenius just needs a couple tune ups. Don't see what the fuss is about, he's been out the ring for months and plagued by injuries. Wildest has made a career fighting this type of levels, and he's now keeping a belt!
Yeap, feasting bums is the norm in the current heavyweight division. Not counting guys like Povetkin and Tiger Thompson who fight whoever.
