The 40-year-old Williams weighed in at 265.9 pounds, which is high for the 5’11” Williams.

In fact, it’s a career high for Williams and that could be an indication that Williams didn’t train as hard for this fight as he could. An in shape Williams might be a handful for Helenius, as he was more or less exposed as having no inside fighting ability in his last fight against Dereck Chisora last year in December.

Helenius, 28, has shoulder surgery on his right shoulder following a questionable win over Dereck Chisora last December. The 6’6″ Helenius is finally ready to fight and his management team have picked a solid test for him in the hard hitting Williams. This could potentially be a lot tougher fight than Helenius and his team may have expected it to be if Helenius can’t take Williams out at some point in the fight.

Helenius, 28, hasn’t fought since tearing up his right shoulder in his controversial 12 round split decision win over Dereck Chisora last December in Helsinki, Finland. Helenius fought well enough to lose that fight, but was instead given a controversial hometown decision. The win came at a cost, however, as Helenius badly injured his right shoulder and subsequently needed surgery to repair the problem.
