    Been announced Anthony Joshua to fight Charles Martin for IBF heavyweight title in April. This is obviously his toughest test so far. Be great to have another British boxing champ

    Good on him for taking the fight so early in his career. He could be world champion in just his 16th fight. Can't imagine many have done it earlier than him. Apart from the obvious like Tyson. If he wins and then beats another two guys before the end of the year he still won't get SPOTY though because being on Sky Box Office isn't going to get him the publiciy and exposure he deserves. His choice though.

    I doubt being SPOTY is high on his agenda.

    Tyson won world title in his 28th fight.

    Surprised they've took it but fair play.

    Big step up going from never fighting a top 30 fighter to someone about 8th in the world
