Following the cancellation of a scheduled heavyweight rematch with former WBC heavyweight title challenger, Dillian Whyte this weekend in London, former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua will, in fact, remain on the capital card – officially booking an impromptu pairing with Finnish heavyweight, Robert Helenius.
Joshua, a former heavyweight world champion, was scheduled to rematch Whyte in a potential title-eliminator this weekend at The O2 Arena in London, however, Matchroom Boxing confirmed last week that an “adverse” finding discovered in a drug test sample provided by Whyte, would force the scrapping of the pairing, and the ultimate removal of Whyte from the event.
