'Body Snatcher' against 'Nordic Nightmare' on Sky Sports Box Office
The Brixton heavyweight battles the towering Helenius for the WBC Silver belt on the same night as bitter rival Joshua's world title fight with Pulev at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff on October 28.
"This is a fight we have been working on for some time and I'm pleased to add it to the huge October 28 show in Cardiff," said promoter Eddie Hearn.
"I think we have made it very clear, we want to make Dillian Whyte versus Deontay Wilder and this WBC Silver title will put us in prime position.
"Helenius is a giant of a man with plenty of experience and this is a tough test for Dillian, it's going to be explosive."
Helenius (25-1-KO16) is best known in Britain for his contentious points win over Dereck Chisora, who Whyte defeated last December in one of the best fights of 2016.
The 'Nordic Nightmare', a former European champion, has welcomed the challenge of coming to these shores to face another Londoner.
