Anthony Joshua overcame the boos in London for an impressive win. He now sets his sights on Deontay Wilder.
LONDON — Former two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua won for the second time on his comeback trail after blocking out jeers from the O2 Arena crowd to produce a thunderous seventh-round stoppage against Robert Helenius on Saturday night and stay on track for a future bout with Deontay Wilder.
Helenius stepped in as a last-minute opponent, but the pre-match focus was on what was next for Joshua with talks taking place with Wilder’s camp over a fight in the new year.It would only happen if Joshua could navigate the Finnish veteran and a slow start to proceedings in London saw whistles followed by boos in round three and further jeers at the end of round six.
Joshua had returned to his winning ways in April but only after an unconvincing display in a unanimous points victory over Jermaine Franklin.There was initial concern over Helenius, who remained motionless, but his opponent was able to get back up to his feet before the two fighters touched gloves.
