Anthony Joshua, former world heavyweight champion, explained why he agreed to fight Robert Helenius.

“I looked at the participants of the show. I understand how much fighting means to them. I know how hard the guys from the promotion company worked. Not just Eddie Hearn, all of our staff. I didn't want to let down my coach, DAZN, so it's kind of a responsibility," the boxer said.

Joshua was scheduled to fight Dillian Whyte on August 13, but he failed a doping test. Therefore, Helenius came on as a replacement on a short notice.
