By Pasi Taavitsainen
Heavyweight Robert “The Nordic Nightmare” Helenius (28-2, 17 KOs) scored a spectacular eighth round KO over IBF #7 rated former Euro champ Erkan Teper (19-3, 12 KOs) on Saturday night at the Ritter Sport Stadion in Waldenbuch, Germany. A left hook by the 6’7 Helenius laid out Teper. Helenius claims the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental heavyweight title.

Teper was the guy that casually walked through David Price a few years ago. Interesting little circle of fighters these guys run in.
Helenius has been all over the place. was a prospect with a big punch, had some legal issues with a promoter that kept him out of the ring for a few years, gift decisions, injuries, short notice fights. Wonder where he will go next.
Good to see you again, Steven! Helenius looked terrible against Whyte. I really rated him before. Not now.
Good win for Helenius even though Teper is awful now that hes off the PEDs. Helenius can still make a lot of money out of the sport.

Speaking of veterans, Adamek is in the ring today against Jarrell Miller. I know nothing about Miller, but that size difference is frightening.

Always like hearing from you, Steven. Regarding Miller: Miller moves well. He boxes ok, with ok power. I just don't rate him highly, certainly not on a par with his big mouth. I think Adamek may be able to out-maneuver him. It would be a huge upset, but not impossible. Miller sometimes shares his training camp with Wilder.

I was hoping there would be some areas that Adamek could exploit. He out-maneuvered Chris Arreola when he was a real prospect, but that was 10 years ago. I would love a huge upset.
Unbeaten Dubois defeats Kevin Johnson
Unbeaten heavyweight Daniel Dubois (9-0, 8 KOs) went the distance for the first time against veteran Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson (32-11-1, 16 KOs) on Saturday night at the Leicester Arena in Leicester, England. 2-year-old Dubois swept nearly all ten rounds (100-91) in an uneventful fight against the 39-year-old Johnson, who dropped his third straight.
Unbeaten WBO #2 rated super lightweight Jack Catterall (23-0, 12 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Ohara Davies (18-2, 14 KOs). The bout was a disappointing chess match with both boxers fighting cautiously. Scores were 118-110, 115-113, 15-113. Catterall retained the WBO Intercontinental title.
2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams (5-0, 3 KOs) claimed the WBO interim flyweight title with a ten round unanimous decision over Isabel Millan (22-5-1, 8 KOs). Scores were 96-92, 97-93, 97-93.
