Anthony Joshua’s Betting Outlook vs Helenius

Joshua is one of the biggest stars in the sport and one of the most accomplished heavyweight boxers there is.

The former two-time unified champion must now adapt to Helenius’ stylistic attributes on less than a week’s notice.

There’s a certain mind game at play here as the last time AJ faced a replacement opponent, he lost in one of boxing’s big upsets of the modern era when AJ dropped his heavyweight hardware to Andy Ruiz.

Joshua feels like he has learned from his previous setbacks and is poised to earn back-to-back wins.

This is an intriguing fight because some pundits and fans alike have seen some of Joshua’s recent performances as more reserved/ cerebral and wonder how the volume-heavy tactics of Helenius will match up with that over the distance.

Robert Helenius’ Betting Outlook vs Joshua

Helenius actually just fought last Saturday night but realized that this was an impossible opportunity to pass up. He accepted the fight against a generational heavyweight great less than 48 hours after that aforementioned bout for Helenius.

‘Nordic Nightmare’ rebounded from his first-round KO loss to Wilder by winning in Finland and could potentially garner consecutive wins within less than a week.

Helenius knows his fight IQ needs to be pronounced and his composure needs to be on point but it’s hard to overlook the quality of Joshua’s resume compared to Helenius’.

Both men have also previously shared the ring together as sparring partners, which is an interesting facet of this intriguing fight.
