I said the fight wouldn't happen. Too much of a risk.

They can also say its rescheduled but I doubt it happens the fight next.

Joshua is clearly hanging back to avoid any chance of beiing manouvred into a match with Tyson Fury, who will obviously slaughter him in the early rounds with his vicious accurate punches that have serious power, failing that Fury will flobber all over him, foul him, knee him in the nuts, punch himslef in the face, etc. like he normally does.

No opponent, no talk of it nothing.

This fight is a massive risk for AJ. Johnson won his first 23 fights, before he lost to Vitali on points. No-one has stopped him. He lost to Fury, Chisora all losses by UD as were his others. He's still only 35 (which is not old for a heavyweight nowadays) His 'Never been stopped or KO-ed' tag does'nt mean he's a great fighter on that alone. But it does mean that if Joshua walks through him and get's him out of there early like he as done the others, then this guy could have young George Foreman type power.

I do think it's a big step up for Joshua. But he's got take the risk at some point.He's been fighting E and -D minus fighters. Now he's fighting a -C fighter. We'll see what happens. And to be honest Matchroom are so confident that they have already pencilled in his next fight.

Nah, I doubt it, Ross said that would never happen, and if Ross says it ain't happening, then it ain't happening! 😄😄😄😄😄

Anthony Joshua returns from injury to fight American Jason Gavern

Unbeaten English heavyweight Anthony Joshua will return from injury to face American Jason Gavern at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on 4 April.

Joshua, 25, was forced to pull out of a fight with Kevin Johnson in January with a back injury.

He said: "The back injury has totally healed up and I will be firing on all cylinders next Saturday."

The 2012 Olympic gold medallist has won all 10 of his professional bouts inside three rounds.

The Watford-based fighter recorded a first-round stoppage against England's Michael Sprott in his most recent fight in November.

Promoter Eddie Hearn added: "It's a nice test on his return. Gavern has plenty of experience but Anthony has plenty of frustration to let out."

I didn't consider Johnson a big test or expect a fight, but it would have been good experience for Joshua at least. Gavern is a step down from Michael Sprott and not even durable, totally useless fight. Must have been some worry about the injury or something.
