What do they do with Joshua now?

[erics44]

Why not audley.?

The fight would be free and this could be his big comeback..

Why not Audrey ? Would be the best fighter he's faced so far

It's looking like Kevin Johnson

[Primo Carnera]

After Johnson, he'll fight Chisora after Fury's beat him. Chisora will give him 5 or 6 rounds, then Hearn has got a soft spot for the Price fight. ( he actually thinks that's a "Stadium PPV fight!") the Price fight will be 3-4 rounds max. Then , depending on how slowly things are happening for Fury, it'll be him in yet another final eliminator , to fight either Wlad or Wilder for the title. Simples!

Makes me sick when people say things like this heavy could be the next big thing and then I look them up on boxrec and see they've gone 8 rounds or something with Sprott.

I would of been really disappointed if it had gone more than 2 rounds so really pleased he cleaned him out fast!

Bring on Sam Sexton for 2-4 rounds of intense fighting I say

[jon09]

He has a perfect opponent in Johnson coming up. He has a concrete chin and has never been knocked out even against the heavy hitters. After that he should fight Chisora.

Chisora already!?

Joshua MIGHT really be the next big thing.

I think he should go for Thompson, then have easier fights against Chis/Pikey to get some good money in before a title challenge. Kingpin would be a good lead in to a thompson fight, having done them both he has to take no shit from Warren or fat mick about purse sizes etc. he's the natural challenger. He'd be a mug to fight price, let price do the Chis/pikey standard boxers.

[Dark Lord Al]

It may sound daft but even Johnson could be a risk.

If Johnson can fiddle his way in to the later rounds, maybe Joshua tires? Although I doubt its going to be a tough pace. Johnson did stop leapei so can hurt people.

It really is shit or bust. Hes in the same position Price was in. Prices competition in his last couple of bouts before he faced Thompson was regressing because they didnt want to risk a jump in class until he had rounds. In the end they bit the bullet but aimed to high.

It maybe a first but I agree with ross , Johnson if nothing else has a good chin , so the type of fighter Joshua is he will have to work hard for the stoppage. If he blasts him out then great , but I think he would at least get 6-7 rounds , then lets see if he is a Bruno and has stamina problems.
Price is to big a puncher to risk , and if Joshua blasts him out then everyone will comment on Prices chin , Johnson is not a top fighter but he will at least take Joshua some rounds and we can see how he goes from there.

[Kirkland Laing]

If they want Joshua to go some rounds Audley is the obvious choice. I'd love to see it just to see Audley's face on the ringwalk.

[p4pking]

Johnson isn't a bad choice if that's what happens. It's almost certainly just a sparring session, but there aren't many guys likely to give Joshua rounds or let him work on anything without being a massive step up entirely I guess.

Assuming it goes well for Joshua, guys Helenius or Ustinov would make sense next imo. Risky but I think Joshua beats both pretty handily.

Yeah, cos he gave Deontay Wilder lots of rounds didn't he?

Kirkland was being sarcastic. Audley has been knocked out early by any decent fighter.

Fair enough. Perhaps I take things too seriously . Anyway, he should've put the in for dumbasses like me.

[C.J.Rock]

Like my friend in Dallas Curtis Cokes once said of Ike Ibeabuchi when he was knocking all his early opponents out. "we wont know if we've really got a champion till someone puts one on Ike's whiskers, if he can take it like he dishes it out we got a champion". Ike could take it & was headed for title shot till he called that lying hooker. A great career derailed

[ross]

Is it a good idea to jump from fighting people who havent been able to get past 4 rounds to fighting someone who is regularly taking the best in the world 12?

Edit, sorry 3 rounds!

[Dia bando]

Fast tracking fighters seems to be the in thing to do, let Joshua learn his trade what's the rush
he looks the real deal up to now,! give him time to mature.
