The Briton turned out to be slightly heavier than the Finn
Former British World Champion Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) and Finnish heavyweight Robert Helenius (32–4, 19 KOs) weighing ceremony.
Joshua’s weight was 113.4 kg. AJ has shed over two pounds since his previous fight against Jermain Franklin.
Scales near Helenius showed almost the same result – 113.13 kg. For a week (in comparison with the indicators before the fight with Mielonen), his weight has not changed.
Recall that the flagship fight of the evening of 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 called to the fight instead 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.
