Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius Round Betting Tips
Anthony Joshua comes into this fight as a the heavy 1/16 betting favourite with the best online gambling sites. It is clear to see why this is the case, given the fact he is a two-time world heavyweight champion and is widely regarded as one of the best heavyweight fighters on the planet today.
Here at SportsLens we can see the former unified heavyweight king getting ‘The Nordic Nightmare’ out of there in the first three rounds of the fight. Betting on what rounds ‘AJ’ will win in certainly gives punters added value when selecting their boxing bets.
The London man has won 22 of his 25 fights via knockout. Of these 22 KO victories, ‘AJ’ has ended the fight in the first three rounds on 16 occasions. Hence why we are backing Joshua to do this once again this weekend in his super-fight with late replacement opponent Robert Helenius.
Joshua hasn’t had a knockout within three rounds since back in December 2016, so he is due an early night. We feel that Helenius is the perfect opponent to blow away, having been knocked out three times before, including within two minutes just last year by Deontay Wilder.

Joshua vs Helenius Individual Round Betting Tip
When it comes to selecting an individual round in which the fight will end, the odds present huge value to boxing punters. For this Joshua vs Helenius fight, we are going with Round 2 in which Anthony Joshua will get his Finnish counterpart out of there via stoppage.
Here at SportsLens we can see the former two-time world heavyweight champion getting to Helenius within the first few minutes of the fight. Both men are big punchers, but we feel Joshua is the far more skilled fighter of the two and will be able to assert his authority over ‘The Nordic Nightmare’ in the opening few rounds, before stopping him imminently.
Helenius is of course dangerous early on and will come forward, but ultimately he isn’t on the same level as ‘AJ’. If Joshua can get inside Helenius’ range and land his clubbing shots, the 39-year-old will surely wilt and could fall to the canvas almost as soon as Joshua lands a big right hand clean on the whiskers.
Eight of Joshua’s 22 stoppage victories have come via stoppage in the second round, and we can see that becoming 9/23 this weekend. A second round stoppage for Anthony Joshua is our individual round betting pick for this heavyweight bout this weekend.
