    Barely threw anything, basically sat there with his hands down, waiting for Joshua to KO him.

    Helenius - "Hurry the **** up and KO me"

    AJ - "Ok wait... wait a sec... I'm...."

    Helenius - *lowers hands* "I'm ****ing standing right here, look.... no hands! KO ME SO I CAN ****ING RETIRE ALREADY"

    AJ - "I need to make sure you don't hit me...., just gimme a sec"

    Helenius - *backs into ropes, stands still* "FFS CHISORA WOULD HAVE KO'D ME 5 ROUNDS AGO, DO IT, IM STANDING STILL. DO ITTTTTTT. NOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!"

    AJ - "AH SHEET...." *HITS STATIC HELENIUS*

    Helenius - *falls down* 'Im not even KO'd, Im just gonna fall down so I can get my ****ing pension. LOL enjoy getting brutally KO'd by Wilder'

    AJ - "I'm GOAT. I knew it".

    Bellew, McGregor and KSI - "Can we suck your dick, GOAT?"

    AJ - "In a bit just gotta pose for photos first"

    AJ actually said he was carrying the HW division on his back

    Lmao

    Total bum loser. Wishes he was Wilder, Fury or Usyk.

    None of those guys have even fought this year. This was already AJ’s second fight this year and he’s planning a third.

    Terrible match. I'm now more convinced than ever that AJ loses to Wilder.

    The Joshua hype train needed fed and Helenius was the meal deal.

    Probably didn't cost too much, you're right.

    I take it this is the first time you've seen Helenius? He just not that good. He tried.

    Just saw the DAZN highlight package and they literally had nothing to show until the knockout. Just a lot of AJ posing and Helenius dorking around the ring looking to get hit. AJ should have KO'd this guy in one round. He should just retire, he's made plenty of money and if that is the best he can do he should just pack it in

    He was picked (as a late substitute opponent) and paid because Matchroom (rightly) expected him to get KO’d (which he eventually did) by AJ, but in no way was this a fix or a quit job.

    Choosing an opponent that the A side is expected to stop is hardly a new practice in boxing.

    yeah if that was a fix or quit job I’m not sure what I’d call his effort against Wilder.

    To be fair, it was a grazing punch to the jaw. Helenius was Turning his head away from the punch so it didn't really land flush. Suspicious, at least.
