When Robert Helenius beat Dereck Chisora early December in Helsinki to win the vacant EBU title on a disputed decision much of the Nordic Nightmare´s at times passive perfomance was blamed on the injury to the right hand he got in the first round. ![]() However, nothing was said about the right shoulder which Robert injured six weeks before the fight. The advice from a doctor then was to rest for two months but Helenius and Team Sauerland choose to continue training and the injury got worse and it´s now said that a tendon is ruptured and there´s an injury to the collarbone as well. Today in Rome there would have been purse bids for Helenius vs Dimitrenko but instead the soon-to-be former EBU heavyweight champ awaits surgery on Thursday and will be out of the ring for at least six months - and the doctors have even hinted that the shoulder never may get well enough for boxing. -That I will lose the title doesn´t matter, says Robert to Hufvudstadsbladet, the most important thing is that the shoulder heals up and that I can continue my career. I feel an enourmous motivation to continue with boxing. As for the vacant EBU title it seems like Robert´s stablemate Kubrat Pulev gets a lucky break and is likely to be named mandatory challenger but if it will be against Alexander Dimitrenko - also sidelined with an injury - or someone else appears to be an open question.
