Anthony Joshua vs. Robert Helenius: How To Stream, Betting Odds And Fight Card

August 12 will see the return to the ring of British heavyweight Anthony Joshua (25-3). the O2 Arena in London was set to host the rematch between AJ and Dillian Whyte until The Body Snatcher failed a pre-fight drug test. Matchroom announced the cancellation of the PPV bout between the two, with Eddie Hearn and his team working overtime to save the card. Joshua will now face a late replacement in Finnish heavyweight Robert Helenius (32-4).

Joshua comes into this rematch on the back of an unconvincing unanimous points win over American Jermaine Franklin on April 1 this year. It will be fascinating to see AJ and his tactics for the fight now he has had a longer period with Derrick James. His Finnish opponent comes in as a late replacement following a third-round TKO victory over Mika Mielonen on August 5. Despite the late replacement, AJ will be under pressure to put on a show against Helenius, with all the negativity surrounding the card after Whyte’s removal from the event.

AJ will need to conjure up some magic from his win over Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in 2017, to extend his career, which began with a professional debut win over Emanuele Leo. 

Can James get AJ focused despite all the upheaval in the build-up? Or can Helenius cause an Andy Ruiz-like shock and stun the boxing world? Check out our recap from the Joshua vs. Helenius press conference.
