Thread: What do they do with Joshua now?

What do they do with him?

Sprott is past it but I'd expect him to be durable and tough enough to take any pro a few rounds at least.

He needs a massive step up now because last night did nothing but add a few seconds to his 37 minute career.

Next should be a fighter like David Price, Alex Leapai or Kevin Johnson who seems to be the most likely.


Now he will walk through Johnson 100%. Period!
I've watch Kev Johnson 3 times which more than how many punches I've seen him throw.

Where does he go after he beats Johnson?

I dunno on this one

How soon do you look at putting him in with Price, Chisora, Fury etc ??

I'd say another year but at same time will that just see him fighting guys he'll blow away in 1-2 rounds.

Tough one

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.

Joshua is a much better athlete than Price. In fact he looks much better full stop.

A boring fighter like Johnson next will actually be interesting.

They might have to do like Foreman did. Although foreman looked shit and got hurt quite bad by one of the fighters, when he fought 5 men in one night.

Theres plenty out there for him.

Joseph Parkers recent opponents would be ideal. Brian Minto, Sherman williams.

Joshua looked good I like him, I hope they don't push him to soon he's got age and time
on his side. I can't see David Price going in with him as it would be the end of Price.

Joshua needs to find a durable hard seasoned club fighter that will guarantee him going 10 rounds.

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.

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.

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?

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
