Helenius Suspended for Doping

Finnish heavyweight boxer (over 90.7 kg) Robert Helenius (32-5, 21 KOs) has been suspended from boxing for two years, reports insider Michael Benson. This suspension came after Helenius tested positive for clomiphene in a UKAD test following his loss to former British champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) in August 2023.

Robert claimed that the test could have shown a positive result due to the consumption of eggs and chicken meat, but he failed to provide sufficient evidence. The fight between Helenius and Joshua ended with the latter winning by knockout in the 7th round.
