Robert Helenius in a fight against Adam Kownacki

Robert Helenius (31-3, 19 KOs) hopes to challenge for the WBA world heavyweight title soon and could be designated by the association as an official title challenger. The 37-year-old boxer beat Adam Kownacki for the second time on Saturday.

"It wasn't a difficult fight for me, I trained for it for almost two years, so I knew what to do in the ring. I didn't even beat him as hard as I could because I didn't want to aggravate his injury. He's a good man, but I knew I was better than him as a boxer," Helenius stated.

"I'm aiming for the WBA belt now. I'm third in the rankings and after this win I should go even higher. I don't want to talk about specific names yet, because in recent months I've been focusing only on Kownacki," said Helenius.
