AJ dreams of a powerful performance
Former world champion Anthony Joshua commented on the upcoming fight with the Finnish boxer Robert Helenius.
“I canceled the fight at the end of the year. Looking back at pre-negotiations with the top heavyweights, they have always been difficult. For the first time since 2019, I can have multiple fights in one year. It’s not good for any boxer, but it’s not good for pauses either.”
“Look at my last fight with Jermain Franklin. It was probably not the most spectacular performance, I did not knock out the opponent, but at least I’m starting to be active again. I challenge myself again. It will be very good for me.”
“If I can win spectacularly, it will give me a lot of confidence. This is what I have to do as a warrior, winning on the battlefield. I live my dream. I hope I can show off a captivating style. I need to knock out Helenius,” Joshua said.
The flagship fight of the evening on August 12 will be the fight between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius. The event will take place in London at the O2 Arena. The fight will be broadcast via PPV system by DAZN.
Helenius was urgently invited to fight in place of Dillian Whyte, who failed a doping test. Helenius last entered the ring on August 5 this year and defeated compatriot Mika Mielonen. Last year, the Finnish boxer was knocked out in the first round by Deontay Wilder.
Joshua defeated American Jermain Franklin in his last fight in March. The fight lasted all 12 rounds.
