THE PREDICTION

Fight fans - and indeed Anthony Joshua himself - were eagerly awaiting his rematch with fellow British heavyweight Dillian Whyte, only for a failed drugs test to deprive Joshua of that particular opponent. Credit to Finnish fighter Robert Helenius, then, for stepping in at the last minute, and while this fight doesn't have same appeal as the grudge match with Whyte, Joshua still draws plenty of interest. Veteran brawler Helenius has certainly been around the block at 39, but shouldn't be taken lightly given that he has won 32 of his 26 professional fights. Joshua, though - with one eye on fighting Deontay Wilder in the future - will be going all out for the KO. Three of Helenius' four defeats have been by way of knockout, and if Joshua wants to make a statement that he is still a force in the division, he surely needs to win this fight inside the distance. We're tipping him to do just that.

Prediction: ANTHONY JOSHUA TO WIN BY KO
