This Saturday at The O2 arena, former heavyweight champion Joshua will face Helenius after his scheduled opponent Dillian Whyte was forced to withdraw due to a positive drug test.

Official Sponsor For Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius on DAZN: Conor McGregor’s Company
McGregor will travel to London to see Joshua take on Helenius, who just competed last weekend at a castle designed in the style of the Middle Ages in his native Finland. The request to fight Joshua came before “The Nordic Nightmare” had even had his hand wraps removed, and he seized the chance.
The 39-year-old heavyweight from Finland, Helenius, looked to call it quits in October after being submitted by Deontay Wilder in the opening frame. But he only made a comeback last weekend, defeating Mika Mielonen via technical knockout. Joshua, a former two-time world heavyweight champion, last competed in boxing in April when he defeated Jermaine Franklin on points at the O2 to avenge his previous two defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.

After receiving a carton of the stouts, Joshua said, “My guys! I’ll crack this open and tell you later”. He sent a message to Conor McGregor saying “Just be happy, you seem happy and that’s all that matters in life at the end of the day. Long may the success continue and when I’m out in Ireland one day, I’ll visit the pub but I want drinks for free though!”
In response to the video, McGregor wrote said that he is glad to see Joshua enjoy his present. He said,“This man Anthony Joshua is the definition of class, quality, and loyalty! What he and Eddie Hearn have built is just absolute magic! I cannot wait to witness AJ Powerhouse do work this weekend and live from ringside! Wow! Honoured! Let’s go!”
