Anthony Joshua to fight Charles Martin for IBF title

[Spicoli]

I just heard. I know it's February but doesn't Wembley have a roof? I'm not sure they'd fill it but they can definitely make it worth hiring it.

I've not seen Martin other than his last fight but he's a big bugger and he's southpaw and got power. It's not like Joshua wouldn't get opportunities in the future for titles so this is a hell of a risk for such a big heavyweight prospect.

Has Haye announced his next opponent yet? If he hasn't he'll be having a good look at the IBF top contenders to see if he can make a date with them I'm sure.

If Haye would just stay active and should Joshua take the trinket, they may just see fit to put Haye in one of those infamous "Not rated" slots in the ibf.

Should be interesting as both are pretty raw and unproven.

They might make him Interim Emeritus champion.

If Hearn, Joshua and Haye want it they'll find a way to rank him or make him mandatory even if he fights Roy Jones in March. him mandatory if

I don't see Martin going past 3 rounds. Martin has not faced anyone at the level of Joshua. He's been calling out Joshua, well



Because that's a decision Martin will regret. He could have easily cashed out and fought a few Derek Chisora's type fighters (And I not even sure he would beat Chisora). But fair play to him he's taken on the most dangerous young heavyweight out there, when there were surely easier assignments he could have took but I don't see this as a dangerous fight at all for Joshua.

I think Martin has done really well combining his career as a celebrity Chef with boxing.

I did notice he doesn't look much like his brother and fellow chef James Martin.

soon as fury won the title the IBF knew they wanted AJ as their champ
