Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-10-28, fight not particularly good between Dillian Whyte and Robert Helenius: it gets two stars.Dillian Whyte entered this fight with a pro record of 21-1-0 (16 KOs=76%) and he is ranked as the No.18 heavyweight in the world. He suffered his only loss when he faced Anthony Joshua last year (4-stars fight, Joshua vs Whyte, curiously Whyte defeated Joshua by unanimous decision in his first amateur bout in 2009), after this fight he has won five bouts beating Dereck Chisora (=Chisora vs Whyte) and Malcolm Tann in his last two.
His opponent, Robert Helenius, has a boxing record of 25-1-0 (16 knockouts) and he entered as the No.24 in the same weight class. He lost to Johann Duhaupas last year (=Helenius vs Duhaupas) but then he has won over Konstantin Airich, Gonzalo Omar Basile and Evgeny Orlov. Whyte vs Helenius is valid for the vacant WBC Silver heavyweight title; undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Carlos Takam. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Horrible fight. Helenius has the heart of a Teletubbie. Faced with no opposition, Whyte spends much of his time bobbing and weaving, and much of the rest missing with huge telegraphed shots. After these he falls off balance while the Nordic Nightmare politely waits for him to untangle his feet instead of jumping on him. And etc.
This fight was a complete snoozer!! Both guys didn’t do much and Helenius completely gave in and looked like he just showed up to get paid!! SMDH! Hopefully Whyte gets a more willing opponent next fight.
Helenius looked like he could’ve used a oxygen tank after that fight.
I dont think people realise how corrupt boxing is half the time-Helenius probably got paid to lose.
What has happenned to whyte man, getting countered flush in the opening rounds and then gassing. Miller and ortiz and parker kill him, lets not even mention the 2 big champs… and last nights takam too. BTW now ppl know why parker went 12 with takam. He has a chin made of granite steel titanium and concrete all melded together.
