When is Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius fight? Date, TV price, plus undercard

Anthony Joshua continues his quest to regain his world champion status with a fight against Robert Helenius in London this weekend.

Helenius has stepped in as Joshua's opponent for the fight, with Dillian Whyte having withdrawn from the contest just seven days before it was due to take place. The 6ft 6in Finnish fighter steps in for his latest outing following a first round knockout defeat to Deontay Wilder last October.

Joshua is hoping to be on the path back to becoming a world champion, with successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk seeing his world titles pass to the Ukrainian. Helenius represents an experienced opponent for 'AJ', with a test against a top ranked contender expected next for the 33-year-old former Olympic Gold Medallist should he prove victorious.

The winner of this contest will be ordered to take on Usyk later this year, with the Ukrainian having been out of action since last August following failed negotiations
