Anthony Joshua set up a blockbuster fight with American Deontay Wilder in January after he knocked out Robert Helenius in the seventh round of their heavyweight bout at the O2 Arena.
The 33 year-old Nigerian born Briton has endured a difficult two and a half years during which he failed to win any fight.
Helenius needed oxygen after the knockout but later congratulated Joshua for his victory. The Finn took the fight on a week’s notice after Joshua’s original opponent Dillian Whyte failed a voluntary drug test. This is his fifth loss in his 36 professional fights.
