    Anthony Joshua will be in a position to fight in an eliminator for the mandatory challenger of whomever wins Glazkov v Martin. Have a look at the IBF ratings:

    Champ: Vacant
    1. Glazkov
    2. Vacant (wtf)
    3. Wlad
    4. Martin
    5. Teper
    6. Szpilka (likely to lose rating after facing Wilder or drop back)
    7. Cunningham (going back to cruiserweight)
    8. Joshua.

    According to IBF rules, if the belt is vacant, the new champ has to fight its mandatory within 12 months. I think the IBF is going to order Teper v Joshua as an eliminator for the IBF mandatory position.

    Joshua IBF champ the latest by early 2017, mark my words (unless Glazkov / Martin winner goes to unify). Easiest way to the title right now...

    Glazkov/ Martin would be a tougher fight than Wilder for sure.

    Yes. I've heard rumours about Joshua-Teper title eliminator as well.

    That's what he announced, will possibly face Glowacki who's nursing an injury.

    Unless WBO orders Glowacki-Usyk first. Then maybe we can see USS vs Usyk,Ramirez, Lebedev or Drozd :think

    He was practicing his boxing skills, he could have gotten him out of there in the first 30 seconds. There's a reason he's training with Breland now.
