Anthony Joshua KO's Robert Helenius set to face Deontay Wilder in January

Robert Helenius stepped in at short notice to fight former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua at the O2 Arena in London; Joshua's original opponent, old rival Dillian Whyte was pulled from the show after returning an adverse anti-doping finding.

Anthony Joshua reminded the heavyweight division about his power as he stopped Robert Helenius in the seventh round at London’s O2 Arena.

Joshua was once again cautious in the fight’s early stages, even drawing some boos from those in attendance, but that all change with a brilliant right hand that connected on 'The Nordic Nightmare'.

That's back-to-back wins for Anthony Joshua after his decision victory against Jermaine Franklin in April. It's the 23rd knockout win of his career and his first since stopping Kubrat Pulev 2020.

The immediate focus for Joshua now is a showdown with Deontay Wilder next year in a mouthwatering contest that has been years in the making.

The knockout will give Joshua’s confidence a massive lift and he can now head into a Wilder battle on the back of an impressive stoppage.

If the findings are confirmed in humans, the knowledge could benefit people who suffer from retrograde amnesia, an inability to recall memories that were made before the amnesia, which is common in traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. Scientists have long debated whether retrograde ...
