Anthony Joshua will fight this weekend - but against a new opponent, after his showdown with Dillian Whyte was cancelled.
Whyte returned "adverse analytical findings" during an anti-doping test, according to the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, leading to his PPV rematch against AJ being called off and a scramble to replace the fight with another big headliner.
Finnish heavyweight Robert Helenius has accepted the call to step up on Saturday night, just one week after his last encounter in the ring.
Helenius fought compatriot Mika Mielonen in their home country last weekend and will be raring to go again against Joshua, who needs to record a convincing victory here.
