    I think Skelton would be good at this stage.

    No idea who he's fighting, but it'd be a great platform for him to beat someone that is actually known and boost his name again to the public.
    Can't see it being anyone too worthwhile though :/ Sprott would have been good but seems tied up to NZ.

    It is being announced next week. I think I read that Hearn was waiting to see how Joshua's hands were to decide what level of fighter to put him in against.

    Although he is kicking off a very small card (5 fights) so you would think it would be a name that at least some of he 80,000 there have heard of, without using Boxrec

    Is Firtha too much of a risk at this stage? That's a decent fight in my opinion.

    More risk than Hearn would take at the moment I think, I reckon joshua would wipe him out in a few rounds though

    Zack Page would be an ideal opponent at this stage of his career.

    I want him to face either Ali Adams or Kash Ali, might get the PPV buyers up a bit with guys that look like Cupid Stunt.
