Turning in his second consecutive victory since 2020, former world champion, Anthony Joshua has his first victory by stoppage since that year to boot, finishing Finnish opponent, Robert Helenius with a thunderous one-punch knockout in the seventh round of their headliner in London, England.
Joshua, a former world heavyweight championship holder, had been slated to feature in a headlining clash against former-foe, Dillian Whyte in a rematch tonight in the capital, saw a bout with Helenius come to frution after an “adverse” finding in a drug test sample submitted by Whyte saw the clash cancelled.
Joshua, who managed to return to the winner’s enclosure back in April with a unanimous decision win over Jermaine Franklin, had landed a decision win, having suffered a pair of judging losses of his own in a pair of title fights against Ukrainian favorite, Oleksandr Usyk.
