Is Robert Helenius (18-0, 11 KOs) back to his best? March 23 is a big night
for boxing fans all over the world. Current WBO Super-Middleweight Champion
Arthur Abraham (36-3, 28 KOs) and Robert Stieglitz (43-3, 24 KOs) will meet
for the second time within seven months after Abraham took Stieglitz´s title
away from him back on August 25. But the fans at the GETEC-Arena in
Magdeburg, Germany, have another treat to look forward too, cause what would
be a fight night without a matchup between some real heavyweights? Robert
Helenius takes on Britain’s Michael Sprott (37-19, 17 KOs) in only his
second fight after a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to an injury.
However, Helenius will certainly have to be in great shape to fend off the
challenge of the very experienced Sprott. The Berkshire born fighter proved
his class during his win over Helenius´ Team Sauerland stable mate Edmund
Gerber, who at the time was IBF´s number five ranked boxer. Therefore
Helenius knows that it won’t be a walk in the park on March 23. “I was
present in Nuremberg when he beat Gerber,” said Helenius. “Sprott is
technically gifted, so I will have to make use of my height and reach
advantage. My jab could make the difference.”
