Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius goes down this Saturday night from the O2 Arena, London, England. But when are the Joshua vs Helenius weigh-ins? Read on to find out all about the official weigh-ins for this compelling heavyweight boxing clash.
When Are The Weigh-Ins For Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius?
We are just days away from this highly anticipated fight between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius. ‘AJ’ will be desperate to put on an emphatic display, after a lacklustre performance last time out against Jermaine Franklin. A conclusive knockout is necessary for Joshua if he is to go into the Deontay Wilder fight in January with any chance of winning.
Ahead of Saturday’s huge show, all fighters on the entire card will have to weigh-in officially the day before fight night. All fighters on the Joshua vs Helenius undercard, and of course the main event combatants themselves, must make weight prior to their respective fight going ahead.
The official weigh-in show is on Friday, August 11. All fighters on the card must get their weights taken, with the weigh-ins commencing at 1pm BST.
The weigh-in ceremony is open to the public and is conducted on Friday, August 11 at Westfield Shepherd’s Bush (W12 7GF). Entry is free of charge and doors will open one hour prior to the weigh-ins commencing.

What Is The Joshua vs Helenius Weigh-In Limit?
Both Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius will step onto the scales on Friday, August 11 ahead of their highly anticipated fight the following evening in the capital.
This fight is of course a heavyweight contest, meaning there is no maximum weight limit. As long as both fighters weigh-in above the cruiserweight limit (200-pounds), then the fight will go ahead.
Both Joshua and Helenius are 6’6″ plus and heavy set men, so they will likely weigh-in around the 250-pound mark or above. Weigh-ins for heavyweights are meaningless really, rather just a formality.
When it comes to heavyweight fights, neither fighter has to make weight as such. Of course, fighters usually have an upper weight limit which they aren’t allowed to exceed when stepping on the scales. For example, a welterweight fight means both fighters can weight a maximum of 147-pounds. 160-pounds is the middleweight limit, and so on and so forth.
In short, neither Anthony Joshua nor Robert Helenius will have to cut weight, they must just step on the scales on Friday’s weigh-ins. On fight night, the fighters are allowed to come in at whatever weight they want.
