Afterward, Helenius, 39, stated “It feels great to box in Finland and I hope the next match is here as well!”

he could Now be in with AJ on Augus 12th 🙂
Should the fight go through, I’m betting on Robert with a 6th round KO.
Win another fight or two in Finland. Get a call for a bigger fight, make a nice payday and call it a career.
At 41, Mika might have to think of another profession
Being disrespectful of my man mika what time you want to do 10 rounds with my man
So Helenius gets KTFO by Wilder, and still returns for a fight before Wilder. Thus it is in boxing. Kinda shameful..
Now he gets a shot at Tyson Fury for his belt.
After being swiftly knocked senseless in embarrassing fashion by the amateurish Wilder’s right hand, it’s clear Helenius is at the tail end of his career. Beating a 41 year old with 6 fights is unbelievably pathetic. He needs to retire.
Robert Helenius should stay in Finland, and by that I don’t mean literally of course, but he should reconsider his career now.
About ten years ago it was really interesting around him, stunning wins over Samuel Peter, Liakohovich, Chisora, but that time is over.
After that he’s been badly KO’d more than once. Take care of your health. There is nothing more to prove.
Helenius looked the same boxer in this fight.as when he beat Kownacki. He will be a danger to any heavyweight still with his size and strength. He got caught cold against Wilder.
To look good against Mika Mielonen 41 years old ranked #426 by Boxrec doesn’t say much
The only thing this fight really said is that Robert Helenius has a long way to go.
I honestly think he should stop his hike, take the bus back and enjoy the sauna instead.
It’s like this guy is purposely trying to stall his career and remain unknown.
