How to watch Joshua vs Helenius: Live stream and TV channel for boxing tonight

 Anthony Joshua is back in a boxing ring tonight when he squares off against veteran heavyweight Robert Helenius.

The Brit was scheduled for another instalment of his long-running intense feud with London rival Dillian Whyte, only for that bout to be called off following “adverse analytical findings” in an anti-doping test from Whyte.

The experienced Helenius, 39, last fought only a week ago in his native Finland and accepted a late call to step in at the O2 Arena.

Joshua’s team have been keen to get him back out, with a mega-money fight against Deontay Wilder in the offing early in 2024.

Here’s how to watch all the action tonight, with an undercard featuring the likes of Filip Hrgovic, Johnny Fisher, Derek Chisora, Campbell Hatton and more.

Anthony Joshua will fight Robert Helenius tonight, as the Finn steps in for Dillian Whyte.

Joshua was due to fight Whyte in a rematch of their 2015 clash, which “AJ” won via knockout, but Whyte returned an adverse drug-test finding last week, causing Saturday’s main event to be cancelled. Helenius, 39, has been drafted in to fight Joshua, 33, on short notice, as the pair square off at London’s O2 Arena.
