Against French Duhaupas

By Per-Ake Persson

Heavyweights Robert "the Nordic Nightmare" Helenius (22-0) and Frenchman Johann "Reptile" Duhaupas (33-3) clash for the vacant WBC Silver title April 2 at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland, it was announced today at a press conference. The show is promoted by Loud N Live Promotions Ltd in association with J-Suge SLU and The Queen of Boxing LLC.

This is said to be the financially most expensive fight ever in Finland.

Helenius vs Franz Rill in December for the vacant EBU title drew 11 500 fans to the Hartwall Arena with 60 000 PPV sales.

Duhaupas fought WBC champ Deontay Wilder last year and Helenius have also been in the picture for a fight against Wilder and in case of a win against ”the Reptile” he should be a notch closer to a title fight.
