    At the Metro Radio Arena, 4th April, Joshua is scheduled to fight a TBA opponent then he returns on 25th April at the 02 to fight Kevin Johnson. Any ideas on who the TBA opponent could be? Obviously just a tune up fight for Johnson but still interested as i'm attending the fight, Danny Hughes lives nearby and recently went the distance with Hughie Fury, he's a similar size to Joshua, would be a decent tune up IMO.

    Yaroslav Zavorotnyi went 10 rounds with Price is likely

    Wont go 10 with Joshua but the few rounds AJ spends bashing him may postpone or cancel the Johnson fight if he hurts his hands.

    Takam would be good but I suspect it'll be a Joey Abell level opponent.

    Don't think it will be anybody as good as these two to be honest. I think he's more likely to fight them AFTER he meets Johnson than before. Im guessing it will be a short ****d East European,and Prices last man fits the bill. At some time though,they're gonna have to get him a big,half way capable opponent. Hopefully this year.

    Johnson is his next 'test', so it won't be anybody outstanding.

    Just read an article & apparently the plan is Zavorotnyi on Apr 4th, Johnson on Apr 25th then Price/ Chisora in the summer according to Eddie Hearn.

    I think Zavorotnyi and Johnson as his next 2 fights are good fights for this point in his career. Yes he is above them but you don't move fighters that quick unless they are incredible fighters already (Lomachenko), most prospects have a lot to work on when they come out of the ams and Joshua is no different. Chisora and Ustinov or someone of them dimensions would be a good end to the year but I think even those guys are moving him very quickly.

    What about the six foot five,unbeaten with a similar record to Joshua,Michael Wallisch? Wouldn't that be a good fight in the future,maybe even in Germany? Too good to be true,I suspect.
