That fight right there, Brooklyn, New York, my old stomping grounds, what a fight it was, a great comeback by Robert in Rd 4. Looked like he was fucked until that point. Kownacki was just walking him down and really letting his hands fly. One of the best HW fights Ive seen lately.

It looks as though Robert Helenius may get a shot with a little luck at the winner of the Anthony Joshua/Pulev fight. I think he has revivified himself and has some good people now in his corner.
They should let him fight Andy Ruiz or somebody like that or the winner of the AJ fight

It’s amazing how one victory can change everything.
Robert Helenius was seen as a has-been when he stepped into the ring to face Adam Kownacki on March 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Finn walked out as a major player in the heavyweight division for the first time since the early 2010s.
Helenius, demonstrating that power is the last thing to go, stunned the boxing world by stopping the then-unbeaten Kownacki in only four rounds.
Now he could be only one more victory away from challenging for one of the belts owned by Anthony Joshua, who rebounded from his upset loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. to regain his titles last December

Robert Helenius on Anthony Joshua: 'I think I would beat him'
"I think it would be a very interesting fight [against Joshua],” Helenius told Sky Sports. “I would like that very much. It would be fireworks and tactics, of course, but I think it would be a very, very interesting fight for me. I was very surprised that he got knocked [out by Andy Ruiz Jr]. He made mistakes, but he did well in the second fight.
“Ruiz and me are very different fighters. We are the same height, Anthony and me. I’ve been there in a sparring camp with him. I have nothing personal against him, he’s a very good guy. I think very highly of him and I like him a lot, but I think I would beat him.”
And he’d be happy to face Joshua in the U.K.
“Of course, the Vikings have been there many times before,” Helenius said. “Yes, that is exactly what I’m planning to do (a Viking invasion).”

Another possible opponent for Helenius? Tyson Fury. Helenius has sparred with both Joshua and Fury.
“It’s a whole different fight,” he said of a prospective meeting with Fury. “… I would not reveal … secrets, how I would go about the fight. It’s also a very interesting fight.”
