Mazikin was a very good amateur and then turned pro with Spotlight Boxing in Hamburg and later joined Arena Box Promotion. But over the years Mazikin has gone downhill and what once was a possible contender is now, at best, a decent journeyman.

The Nordic Nightmare, Robert Helenius (19-0), returns to action, as previously reported, on March 21 in Tallinn (Estonia) and the opponent has now been announced. It will be Ukrainian veteran Alexey Mazikin (18-12-2) in the opposite corner.

good to see him returning but how much does he have left after the injuries & layoff?

Safe return fight, but no worries, getting his feet wet again. Just great to see Helenius back in the ring again. Hopefully he can avoid further injury and challenge for a title within 2-3 years. The guy is always in…

[QUOTE=knockoutkid;15447987]yeah he must have had a bad deal with sauerland, but why not run it down and renegotiate a better one? he was at fringe world title level, not the best technically a bit tall but a solid top ten…

Looking forward to what he's like after the layoff and injury.

Looking forward to this!
