I think it's safe to say Helenius has retired!

Bit of a lumbering oaf like most in the division but the first hev I have seen fight off the back foot since Holmes.

That's what I was thinking. You have to first heal, and then you have to train before the actual fight. I understand why it may have took so long before he decided to announce a comeback fight date, but that in itself may not just cut it unless the guy he is fighting is a stiff and easily beatable. Even then it may not work out.

Shoulder injuries are a little different than hand injuries. Your hand can heal, but shoulder injuries come with cartilage damage and tendon damage and possible bone fracturing and muscle strains. Quite a different issue than just a broken hand or finger.

You may have surgery done, but what use would it be if you can't use it like brand new?? And with all of the strain put on it from training, throwing punches, and generally living, then what is expected for you to do except to go into a fight as a soft punching HW- and then who would be afraid of you??

That is what I thought but it did not state the shoulder injury.

I know it probably would not have made much difference but Audley had a serious shoulder injury and you could see the scar quite early on in his career which must have had an impact on him.

Helenius comeback fight kayoed? | Boxing News | Fightnews

Comeback thwarted by contract.

Shame. He just needs to sort this out and get in the ring.

Helenius will be back soon. A friend of mine is Ostersund knows his boyhood friend Dag Jensen who told him June 5 he'll fight a tune-up in _Germany. Opponent TBA.

Reading about him the injuries were fracture to right arm against Chisora and broke right wrist against Sprott. Not career threatening injuries.

Sounds bad to me. I don't know any more than I just read in your post, but if you can't punch without breaking your own bones, it could be a problem.
