What Belts Are On The Line In The Joshua vs Helenius Fight?
Boxing fans are extremely excited to witness the return of Anthony Joshua for the second time this year. That’s right, Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius is finally here and goes down this weekend at the O2 Arena, London, England, UK.
Anthony Joshua is of course the former two-time world heavyweight champion. However, since losing his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk back in August 2022, ‘AJ’ hasn’t fought in any more world title fights. This of course means there are no belts on the line for the Joshua vs Helenius heavyweight bout this weekend.
The four world championship belts at heavyweight are tied up between two champions – Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk has three belts (IBF, WBA-Super & WBO), meanwhile ‘The Gypsy King’ holds the WBC belt.
Joshua is ranked as the third best heavyweight in the world according to the BoxRec rankings. ‘The Nordic Nightmare’ is ranked at #24. The winner of this fight could well be in line for a world title shot next year, but that remains to be seen.
‘AJ’ of course fought in 12 consecutive world title fights from April 2016 up until August 2022. He won nine of these 12 world title fights, which includes picking up three world championship belts along the way.
However, this time around there are no belts on the line for the Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius fight.
As of today for the main event, Anthony Joshua is the heavy 1/16 favourite to win the fight with the best boxing betting sites.
