Promoter Frank Warren commented on the victory of the former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) over Robert Helenius (32-5, 21 KOs).
“I was on the side of those who booed Joshua. I'm not impressed at all. He came out against the guy on a weekly notice. As we know, sometimes it's difficult. But Anthony did what was expected of him. He was a puncher and knocked out an opponent only when he increased the momentum, before that one could fall asleep watching the fight.
Joshua's chances with Wilder? If Deontay has something left, I believe he will hit Anthony. But this is a fight between guys who were defeated by champions. This is a good fight, but this is a fight of guys who are no longer at their peak, ”Boxing News quotes Warren.
Recall that on August 12 in London, Joshua knocked out Helenius in the seventh round.
