He told DAZN: “Greatness doesn’t rush. He took his time, he landed a big heavy shot. I’m just happy Helenius got up.
“The fans should be grateful for the Finn coming in, last minute replacement. No fear, he came in and put in a great performance. He did himself proud and his team.
“Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie. Big congrats to the UK.
“And I know your man KSI is in the crowd, and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory. So if he wants to get in here I’ll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want.”
