Chisora, Helenius return with quick KO wins

By Karl Freitag

Heavyweight Dereck Chisora (26-6, 18 KOs) returned to the ring Saturday with a second round KO against Drazan Janjanin (13-8, 12 KOs) at the Hovet in Stockholm, Sweden. A crunching body shot finished Janjanin. Chisora was back in action after losing via split decision to Kubrat Pulev in May.

Heavyweight Robert “The Nordic Nightmare” Helenius (23-1, 14 KOs) rebounded from his first career loss to score a first round KO over “The Sandman” Konstantin Airich (23-18-2, 18 KOs) on Saturday night at the Baltic Hall, Mariehamn, Finland. Helenius needed just 49 seconds to take down Airich with a body shot in his first bout since a KO loss to Johann Duhaupas in April.
