Mixed Reactions Trail Anthony Joshua’s First Knockout Win In Three Years

Mixed reactions have continued to trail Anthony Joshua’s first knockout win in three years recorded against Robert Helenius at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.

Netizens have taken to different social media platforms to share their thoughts on the boxing bout between the Nigerian-born British boxer Anthony Joshua and the Finnish boxer Robert Helenius.

Joshua, in the seventh round of the fight against Helenius, scored his first knockout win since Bulgaria’s Kubrat Puliev’s in 2020.

Helenius had stepped in on short notice after the highly anticipated rematch between British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte popularly known as the “The Body Snatcher” and Joshua was cancelled due to Whyte’s failed drug test one week before the fight.

Joshua is likely to fight American boxer Deontay Wilder next, following the latter’s win against Helenius in October 2022.

Social media users have since taken to different platforms to share their thoughts on Joshua’s first KO in three years. While some congratulated the former two-time heavyweight champion, others called for a fight between him and Wilder.
