Anthony Joshua earned his first stoppage since 2020 on Saturday when he knocked out Robert Helenius in the seventh round at the O2 Arena in London.
Joshua started slow against Helenius, showcasing some patience instead of looking to end things in the earlier stages of the fight.
After one minute and 27 seconds of the seventh round, Helenius let up his defense for a slight moment, at which point Joshua fired off a devastating right hook that caught the Fin square in the face, sending him crashing to the floor.

Watch CFL standout Nathan Rourke deliver what may be the play of the NFL preseason
There is absolutely not a quarterback controversy down in Jacksonville, as Trevor Lawrence is entrenched as the team’s starting quarterback following the Jaguars’ run to the playoffs a season ago.
However, there might be a battle underway for the QB2 spot behind Lawrence, between C.J. Beathard and Nathan Rourke. And if this incredible touchdown pass from Rourke on Saturday night is any indication, the former CFL star might be in good shape in that fight.
At a time where many players are fighting for a roster spot, Jaguars quarterback Nathan Rourke added to his case for a backup role on Saturday with an electric highlight against the Cowboys.
Nearly seven months after joining Jacksonville, Rourke, a standout in the CFL in 2022, took the field for the first time as an NFL player after starting the second half of the club’s preseason opener in Dallas.

The immediate tension surrounding Jim Harbaugh’s status for this Michigan football season appears to be over. But the stakes may have escalated for next year … if there is a “next year” for Harbaugh in Ann Arbor.
Sources with knowledge of the situation told Sports Illustrated Saturday that a negotiated resolution to the Michigan infractions case was “rejected” by the NCAA Committee on Infractions. Yahoo Sports first reported the complication in the case.
The Athletics’ 2023 campaign has certainly been one for fans to forget and the team’s struggles were perfectly summed up in one humiliating moment during Saturday’s game against the Nationals.
Oakland entered play as MLB’s worst team, sporting a 33–83 record. Early into the game, starting pitcher Luis Medina made an unthinkable mental mistake as he seemingly forgot to record an out.
