Anthony Joshua VS. Robert Helenius | Fight Highlights #boxing #action #combat #sports #fight

With some potentially huge fights on the horizon, Anthony Joshua had to first overcome a challenge in the form of late-notice replacement Robert Helenius in London on Saturday night. Joshua succeeded, securing a seventh-round knockout that might pave the way for a January bout against Deontay Wilder. However, the performance leading up to that final punch may not have significantly increased the anticipation for the Wilder fight. Joshua, who was fighting for the second time since his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk for the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles, was initially set to face former world title challenger Dillian Whyte. After Whyte failed a pre-fight drug test, Helenius, who had just fought in Finland and had less than a week to prepare, stepped in. This bout was Helenius' first since being defeated by Wilder in a single round in October 2022. From the start, it was clear that Joshua was not aiming to outshine Wilder's performance against Helenius. Instead, he operated primarily behind a jab, showing little aggression. When Joshua did land a solid right hand, he often chose to retreat rather than press the advantage. The fight largely became a contest of jabs, with Helenius managing to cause Joshua some trouble, resulting in a bloody nose and slight swelling around his left eye. Despite this, Joshua maintained control throughout, although the match remained slow-paced and lacking in excitement. #shorts #shortsyoutube #boxing #boxinglife #boxingtraining #boxingday #boxingnews #boxingworkout #boxinglovers #boxingfight #boxingfans #boxingmatch #ko #Knockout #knockoutpunch #KOhighlights #BoxingKO #FightVideo #FightScene #FightSport #FightFans #Fight #FightNight #CombatSports #combat #CombatFight #FightZone #FightMode #boxinglife #sportsnews #actionsports #highlights #sporthighlights #action #punch #punching #fight #fighting #knockoutpower #americansports #usa
