Wladimir Klitschko spars Anthony Joshua | Boxing News - boxing news, results, rankings, schedules since 1909
I would like to see footage of this.
"He is giving me a real challenge." From Wlad's FB page
The promoters of both have set this up... someone is gonna make a boat load of money off of Joshua. He's already better than David Price.
I don't know about you but Joshua vs Fury looks to be the big money match going forward....maybe loser fighting Price
The Joshua vs Fury fight would be interesting, but either one of them losing to Price would be a career killer.Quote:

Look, if they beat Price, it's no big deal. If Price gets lucky and they lose, that's bad news for their career.
Well, its certainly got the 'good guy versus bad guy' ingredient! Reminds me of the wrestling all those years ago!Quote:

Joshua should learn a few things from sparring with the champion.
This guy is so exciting! I really don't want to go over the top (but I'm going to) , in 5 years time , he could be the Saviour of Heavyweight boxing Worldwide.
You have gone over the top. He probably is another Bruno.Quote:

Maybe I have gone over the top, but I think he could go a lot further than Bruno. I can see the similarities , but I think AJ has a lot better movement and Spite. That's not demeaning what Bruno did, after all , he became World Champ and gave more than respectable performances against Tyson and Lewis.Quote:

I don't read too much into him sparring with Wlad, I just think that's sensible for both parties. Wlad needs decent , hungry sparring partners and respect to him for that, and AJ gets the best possible experience he could get.
In reality, Wlad will be long gone before Joshua gets to that level and even if he wasn't , there's always a long queue to fight him.
That is what I was thinkinh, wladimir is a very smart guy, he has sparred with wilder before too, I would guess he is certainly scouting them out to know how long he has left in the sport, I think it's going to be hard to catch wladimir getting old.Quote:

Joshua has good power...needs to loosen up and get a bit more fluid. Being that tight he will wear himself down late in fights. He does remind me of Bruno in that respect. He needs to understand he shouldn't sit down on every single punch, it will make him telegraph his punches to be so deliberate with them.
Great learning at this early stage, and I imagine it gives Wlad a look at a fresher energy than he may have been facing in a couple of his actual recent fights.
Btw I'm half expecting the door to fly open and Briggs rushing in throwing some teary jealous girlfriend like temper tantrum :oooh:. Joshua needs to watch where he parks or his car is getting keyed!!
don't give briggs any ideas mate :SQuote:
