ANTHONY JOSHUA VS ROBERT HELENIUS - FIGHT STAT TRENDS
In what was meant to Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte, this Saturday sees AJ top the bill against former sparring partner and large, to say the least, heavyweight Robert Helenius.
After the Whyte fight was called off last weekend due to an ‘adverse finding’ on his VADA test, the 6’7” Fin stepped in on a week’s notice to save the day and this is after he’d fought last Saturday night!
We’ll be taking a look at the key fight trends below and highlight the stats that may support your argument for an Anthony Joshua win or maybe even a Robert Helenius victory on away soil.
