Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius, set to unfold on Saturday night at London's iconic O2 Arena. The backdrop to this intense showdown underwent a last-minute change as Joshua's original opponent, Dillian Whyte, was ruled out due to an «adverse finding» from a doping test. This unforeseen twist propelled Helenius, a formidable contender, into the spotlight. Renowned as the 'Nordic Nightmare,' Helenius brings his two-time European champion experience to this bout. Despite his recent victory against Mika Mielonen, he faced a stunning defeat at the hands of Deontay Wilder last year. Joshua aims to seize victory in this match and potentially set the stage for a colossal clash against Wilder next year. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 12, 2023, at the O2 Arena. The main event ring walks are anticipated at 10 pm BST (2 pm PT, 4 pm CT, 5 pm ET), with a diverse undercard commencing around 7 pm BST (11 am PT, 1 pm CT, 2 pm ET). The fight card showcases a dynamic mix of talent, including Filip Hrgovic, set to challenge Oleksandr Usyk's IBF heavyweight belt, and the exciting emergence of young prospects like Campbell Hatton. The fight can be watched exclusively on DAZN, the leading sports streaming service, accessible via subscription and available for streaming across various devices.

Reliance ARC has submitted a writ petition against the Reserve Bank of India in the Bombay High Court opposing the Swiss challenge method during the debt sale of Vidarbha Industries Power, which has drawn interest from funds like Varde Partners-backed Aditya Birla ARC and Avenue Capital-backed Asset Reconstruction Company of India (Arcil). Vidarbha Industries Power, currently in bankruptcy and promoted by Anil Ambani, has a total debt of Rs 2,569 crore. Reliance ARC has challenged the central bank’s circular of September 24, 2021, calling it arbitrary as it confers “unwarranted and unreasonable benefit” in favour of a Prospective Transferee. The deadline for bidders to submit firm offers was August 8, but the hearing for that petition will take precedence, a bank source said. The matter could be taken up for hearing by the end of this week, another source said. In its petition, Reliance ARC has raised concerns over the Swiss Challenge Auction process, according to a lawyer source. The concern is that when an ARC makes a bid to buy a troubled asset or a non-performing asset (NPA), it automatically becomes an initial bidder and this gives the ARC the exclusive right to match any bid that comes in during the Swiss Challenge Process, the lawyer explained.

The largest strike in the history of Canada’s largest private-sector union, Unifor, is currently underway, with 3,700 workers shutting down 27 Metro grocery stores in the Greater Toronto Area by refusing to work. The strike is supported by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, who in the same breath in which he rails against high prices at grocery stores demands grocery stores pay significantly higher prices for the labour that allows them to operate. It is not a political position calculated to demonstrate financial literacy, and is clear evidence the NDP cares nothing about actual food affordability: they just hate businesses earning profits.
