Anthony Joshua to fight Konstantin Airich

[Vendettos]

My thread on who Joshua's first step up should be against. Posted but last week.

I wouldn't put him in with a guy that can really fight until his 15th fight or so- trust me, he can run to 15 and 0 by mid to late 2015. Easily.

So I guess my question was answered sooner than I thought.

Airich isn't an idiot, he is a fading contender that has fought decent opponents, including a 12 rounder with Odlanier Solis, I don't remember if he was stopped in the 12th or got to the bell.

Definitely a step in the correct direction.

Is it fuck, Skelton would beat him

I though he was fighting that fella who took price the distance last time

Yearn has chosen wisely, he will not lose. If Anthony did then he does not deserve to be considered the next big thing.

Click on the record of any current top heavyweight and find someone matched tougher than Joshua this early in their career. Barring Pulev they're all "terrible" (I would say the norm for a talented prospect)

First 7 fights

Stiverne - his opponents had just 32 bouts between them with only 13 wins.
Wilder - 46 bouts 17 wins.
Wlad - 176 bouts 64 wins.
Joshua - 142 bouts 91 wins.

Two of Joshua's opponents have been in the ring with "world" champions (three if you count Prizefighter). With his profile he should be matched a little tougher than the norm but it's not his fault he's bowling over guys that have taken world champion/challengers deep. It would be even more shit if Joshua wasn't wiping the floor with these guys. We'd be looking at a powderpuff boring heavyweight.

No it was the guy that basically fell over vs Manuel Charr and was beaten by a shot Mr Kipling
