Somebody is not telling the truth: It deserves to be pointed out again that Aleksander Dimitrenko made it known on his Twitter account May 3 that he was not, repeat not, fighting Shannon Briggs May 21. Still, even today you can read that Aleksander "pulled out".

Finnish heavyweight Robert Helenius is currently on a training camp with Tyson Fury in Amsterdam. Helenius and trainer Johan Lindstroem will stay for three weeks and the camp will include sparring. Fury looked more than a little bit heavy around the midsection when he attended the Pulev vs Chisora event in Hamburg May 7 and could well use some heavy training as he prepares for the Klitschko fight. The two know each other since before and have also sparred.

As for Helenius he will return with a fight September 10 in Mariehamn against an opponent to be announced. Robert is sponsored by paf.com, a betting company based in Mariehamn. Also on that bill is Cuban-Finnish lightheavy prospect Dayron Lester (5-0).
