Anthony Joshua Targets 2016 Olympics To Defend Title - Boxing News

Yeah he said he doesnt want to turn pro yet, I havent really followed him at all. I watched the fight with the cuban and thought he lost that fight because of the third round but it was still close. I wonder if he keeps to his word and stays amateur.

Just watched the final replay - Thought Camarelle won if I'm honest. That 3rd round was never a 3 point round. I barely saw either guy landing a scoring shot in the round. Rounds 1 and 2 were won on the ropes by Camarelle. Joshua needs a heck of a lot of work on his defence. He has youth on his side though. I appreciate that he's a young heavy in shape though. Hope he does well when he turns pro.

One paper was saying that he'd signed a deal with Golden Boy and was off to America for two years to learn the pro game before coming back to Britain. That was last week though. Now apparently he's staying amateur. He's done amazingly well for somebody who's only been boxing for a few years but when he does turn pro I'm not sure he can take a punch.

Joshua lost that fight.

I know he's young and still learning but he looks awful, he has done the impossible though and actually made audley harrison as a SHW olympic gold medallist look quite good lol Harrison would have beaten joshua as an amateur....

What is frightening is that as he ages he will only get bigger and slower! He looks like the afro carrribean version of ernie munster to me...i think he was lucky to get past the first round and camarelle beat him in the final!

Props to him though.

Joshua: If Together, We Can Dominate Boxing Until Rio - Boxing News

he knows he needs to improve, thats why im glad hes not rushing into being pro, he will learn a lot in the next 4 years and hopefully will bring back a gold medal for us again.
