Robert Helenius is a lesser version of Deontay Wilder. He's a one-trick pony with poor boxing skills, but excellent one-punch KO power. Fury should have no problem defeating him.
Helenius has been imitating Fury as Wilder's main sparring partner “Be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved you and gave Himself up for you, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
"39 year old gunshy Wlad" Not to be confused with the 32 year old non-gunshy Wlad who fought Ibragimov or the 35 year old non-gunshy Wlad who fought Haye. A completely different fighter. There's also nothing impressive about beating long-reigning 6'5-6'7 KO artists 4 times in their backyards, everyone can do it. Fury should have fought a trilogy as the A-side with a blind featherfisted midget instead.
I heard Fury is planning a Scandinavian tour. After Helenius, he will go for the undefeated Swede Seifkhani, and then Wallin II. This generation's Ingomar Johansson.
Not to be confused with the Wlad that looked gunshy and meh the fight before against Jennings. Don't bring up the disgrace of a fight against Haye. That's a great twisted way of saying Fury beat 39yo gunshy Wlad and a right hand 3 times (not to mention also getting knocked out in two of the fights). Wilder beat f all and he is objectively a terrible boxer
I'd like to see this fight. Fury fighting a guy close to his own size. The Nordic Nightmare can KO Fury if he clips him with a good shot early; otherwise Fury keeps out of harms way and wins a UD or a KO as Helenius doesn't have much of a gas tank.
I only remember Helenius losing to Chisora while getting the victory in one of the most disgraceful robberies in the history of the sport. Or getting knocked down by the likes of Sherman Williams.
