Anthony Joshua needs to come to America and fight a Live guy!
This would solidify him in the minds of doubters, and also put him in an international stage, with live competition that can cause some troubles for him.
Since David Price is acting the David Haye- semi-retired and not taking any serious challenges- than the next best thing I wish to see from Joshua is to take on a fight with a YOUNG and live guy, preferably in America or Germany.
Guys I would like to see him get in the ring with....
Gerald Washington- 15-0
Charles Martin- 21-0-1
Andy Ruiz- 24-0
Joe Hanks- 21-2
Eddie Chambers- 41-4
This would be a good start.

Then Deontay Wilder needs to come to the UK and fight a live guy. Or did he already do that with Audley?

Why travel for less than a rounds work?
Re: Anthony Joshua needs to come to America and fight a Live guy!
Those guys you listed are all considerably worse than his next opponent, and AJ could easily bring them to him if there were any point in it. Gerald Washington and Charles Martin are both football players who fight like it, they suck and Joshua would kill them. Andy Ruiz, Joe Hanks, have you seen these guys man? He doesn't need to go anywhere at this stage, may as well keep building the fan base at home and fight whoever he can for some experience, Wach is certainly a good opponent.
Re: Anthony Joshua needs to come to America and fight a Live guy!
AJ does not need to go to the USA, because all the best HW are in Europe at this present time,!
the best of the bunch is Wilder, the HW division in the USA has been pretty poor for some time,
Wilder is exciting to watch but I have a feeling catch him on the chin, and it's lights out.!
The money is this side of the pond and the fighters, no need to travel far he has sparred with
the best Klits, what more can you ask more top contenders in Europe.
Re: Anthony Joshua needs to come to America and fight a Live guy!
Fuck that.
He already sells more tickets than those 5 put together. He'll be headlining the 02 in London (20,000) later in the year.
The only legit case for AJ to fight in America is if he was challenging Wilder.

I wouldnt mind seeing him get a bit of US exposure fighting on the undercard of a big card where another brit is challenging for a world title. Get him in with Arreola
Re: Anthony Joshua needs to come to America and fight a Live guy!
Yeah that would be good but it wont happen with a guy like Arreola. They would bring him over here to cash-in on their own show.
He doesn't "need" to be in America to prove anything

Ah yea not at all. I used to think American fighters were better than English and Irish, and maybe they were a decade ago, but I think the current crop of domestic fighters are just as good, if not better than the top of the American pile, particularly at heavyweight.

The fighters to now watch out for, are from the old eastern block tough SOBS.;)
Re: Anthony Joshua needs to come to America and fight a Live guy!
Judging by the WSB Kazachstan are going to produce a lot of very good fighters. Azerbaijan have invested a lot of money in their amateur boxing program and dominated the european games. They should be spitting out some good pros in the next few years too.

We seem to forget when theses guy's turn pro, they can start with 6 rounders that's it with WSB your
already doing rounds, so when they start in the pro game they are a bit advanced over, other new
fighters.

Yea and pretty sure they are using lighter gloves again giving them pro experience
Re: Anthony Joshua needs to come to America and fight a Live guy!
He has everything he already needs as far as home base and build up but the exposure would be good for him as well as potential fan base over here. Wlad aside, the division is wide open and Joshua is looking rather impressive. Hatton, Eubank and Lewis among others all dipped a toe into the U.S scene before they 'made' it. What would it hurt. Buy a ticket to Wilders next fight in some Alabama convention center or bingo hall and give him a wave for the camera.
