Robert Helenius is a heavyweight boxer who has previously held multiple regional titles. However, ‘The Nordic Nightmare’ has never held a belt in any of the major bodies of boxing. So for him to say that Tyson Fury is an easy fight because of his fight style, is pretty interesting.

He did just that in a conversation with SkySports. The Finnish pugilist said, “Of course, I feel I would beat Fury. He looked great against Deontay Wilder, but he would find a much less favourable style against me. I would knock Fury out. He is an easier style for me than Usyk for sure.”
