Robert Helenius TKO3 Mika Mielonem... Heavyweight Robert Helenius, age 39, won his comeback match against fellow Finn Mika Mielonen, age 41, by third-round technical knockout in a bout that took place in Olavinlinna on Saturday. The match ended in the third round, when Helenius landed a hard right hook in Mielonen's ear. Mielonen staggered backwards and into the ropes. Without the support of the straps, he probably would have fallen. Mielo (6-1) was virtually out on his feet and did not protest the stoppage. Helenius is now 32-4 and got back in the win column after a 2022 blowout loss to Deontay Wilder.  Helenius is being considered as a possible last-minute opponent for Anthony Joshua next weekend, with Joshia desperate for an opponent since Dillian Whyte failed a drug test. Helenius described Mielo as "Finland's second toughest guy" after the match. source: helsingen sanomat
