Ooh, BBC report makes it sound so spicy!!

"You got a problem with me?" Joshua asked Helenius.

In a swift retort, Helenius told Joshua: "I don't got a problem with you."

Having just weighed in at Westfield London shopping centre on Friday, Joshua told his opponent: "We're going to fight now or we're going to fight tomorrow. Either way we're going to fight."

He instructed Helenius to "stop acting up", adding: "Let's stay calm, let's stay cool."

That nonsense was very odd from Joshua, just made a prick of himself really.
No drama from Helenius, no provocation of any kind.

Maybe he was told to kick off a bit to help ticket sales and PPVs, seemed out of character, if it was to intimidate Helenius it didnt work.

I don’t think so, it was too low key to be a stunt and it’s not a PPV

:lol: no, but is it a conspiracy theory, when this one was conducted in plain sight...

1) friends - check
2) long time sparring partners (under the watchful eye of Malik "Scuba" Scott) - check
3) same promoter - check
4) career subservient to wilder's - check
(same card three times in a row, instead of pushing on with WBA after an eliminator win over Kownacki, his whole career was put on hold for over two years until Wilder needed him)
5) For the WBC tournament, the PBC hand picked Helenius - check
(four PBC fighters, they matched #1 ranked Wilder against #10 ranked Helenius :lol:)
6) an arm punch. A dive - check
7) I have some magic beans to sell you - check :TU:

Edit: all jokes aside, I'm hoping the Helenius who upset the apple cart against Kownacki turns up and makes a fight of it. Looking forward to this card.

This is probably better than the 2nd Whyte fight, but after Helenius' last performance it's hard to wait a lot from him.

Can be a nice buildup to Joshua-Wilder.

I hope that's what it's building toward. Other than Wilder, I wouldn't really care to see Joshua against too many others.

Maybe Joyce just for the hell of it, but only if Wilder can't be made.

7 years plus is a long enough build.
The reality is he’s ducked Fury and I boxing Helenius instead.
