    Another quick KO win for AJ and after the fight Eddie Hearn announced his next opponent should be Kevin Johnson at the O2 January 31st.

    Is this a slight step up for AJ ?

    It is a step up definitely.


    Kevin Johson should give Joshua some well needed rounds which will be good for him.

    Kevin Johnson poses no threat at all for Joshua, though. He doesn't throw punches and sits on the ropes to defend all night. He can take a punch so it might go 12.

    Kevin Johnson is a good step up for AJ hes very tricky with a great defence but hes lazy and doesnt throw enough punches.

    If AJ stops him early the that would be very impressive.

    Johnson is a terrible fighter but very durable.
    AJ should win this easily, but the question is if he can knock the Kingpin out.

    Kingpin fights to survive not win, hell be looking to go the distance but I'll be impressed if he lasts more than 6 rounds.

    Joshua will stop Johnson on the ropes.Johnson will come to survive nothing more.

    Can't see it going beyond 4-6 rounds.

    If Joshua unloads like he did last night no boxer in the division can handle him

    I think Johnson will take him around 4-7 rounds in fight, good progression fight

    Good step up for AJ but he'll still take him out in three rounds.

    Dont be shocked if Johnson takes a shot doesnt go down or look overly bothered and the ref jumps in waving it off with Johnson wondering why it just got stopped
