Both fighters were cautious and only occasionally jabbed. In the 7th round, Joshua was finally able to get into position for a good punch and sent Robert Helenius into a heavy knockout. For the Briton, this is the first early victory in almost 3 years.

Immediately following the fight, Eddie Hearn announced that he was in talks for a fight between Joshua and Deontay Wilder. According to the plan, the fight should take place in January 2024 in Saudi Arabia. Hearn urged Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel to step up and organize what Eddie himself called “one of the biggest fights in history.”

On the undercard of the evening, Derek Chisora ​​won Joshua-Helenius by decision, while Filip Hrgovic won an early victory and retained his status as the No. 1 contender in the IBF heavyweight division. The performance of both boxers was frankly weak.

Today Almaty hosted the Naiza FC 52 x Ural FC 3 mixed martial arts tournament, where one of the main events of the show was the battle of the infamous Russian MMA fighter Vyacheslav Datsik once morest Kazakh Galymzhan Zhaslanov. The fight was held according to the rules of boxing in MMA gloves.

The first round went to reconnaissance, where Datsik constantly went forward and tried to bring his attacks to the target, and Zhaslanov, working as the second number, looked closely at the opponent. But already in the second round, everything became much more fun. The fighters staged a tough exchange in the center of the ring, and Datsik was able to knock down Zhaslanov, then went for finishing moves, but picked up a lot of oncoming blows, from which he might hardly stand on his feet. The final round was dictated by Zhaslanov, where he simply smashed Datsik with combinations of punches, ending with powerful side kicks.

In the end, the fight lasted all the allotted three rounds and Zhaslanov won by a majority of judges’ votes.
