August 14, 2023 Jury Out on Anthony Joshua’s Win Over Robert Helenius
Boxing fans all over the world continue to X-ray Anthony Joshua’s first knockout victory in nearly three years, after the former Heavyweight Champ knocked out Robert Helenius at the 02 Arena in London on Saturday night. Anthony Joshua produced a stunning one-punch seventh round knockout over last minute opponent Helenius to set up a blockbuster clash with Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia next year. It was his first KO win since he defeated Kubrat Puliev December 12, 2020. After a tentative start where neither man landed anything of note, Joshua found his range and committed with the right hand to devastating effect. Some boxing pundits however believe that Anthony Joshua still has a long way to go to regain his “Killer Instincts” if he’s to be ready to regain his world titles, as he gets ready for a fight in December against Deontay Wilder. The ‘Bronze Bomber’ appeared to also be pleased with the manner of the victory. Speaking to October Red Youtube channel, Wilder’s trainer, Malik Scott, revealed his man’s immediate reaction to the stoppage. “He (Wilder) was like ‘we needed that.’ We both said the same thing because at first it was looking like it was getting ready to go the distance so when the knockout came I called him on FaceTime and he was like ‘I’m glad he got that, we needed it done just like that.’ “So we’re both satisfied, the fight is bigger to me than it was because of the knockout, so shout out to AJ to going out there and getting the job done,” Scott said. Eddie Hearn confirmed that Saudi representatives were in London for the fight and are hopeful of finalising a deal in the coming days.
