    Is this the guy who got stopped recently?

    Can not remember who it was but in a recent boxing news they mentioned a big super heavy taking a bad KO.

    I see bull**** politics are getting in the way again in the amateur game. Hopefully Joshua doesn't get dispirited by this and turn pro too soon (although I obviously think he has the potential to go far when he does turn over, just would like to see him work on his game in the amateurs for a little bit longer).

    I don't think so. I think I remember Bunce saying he has only had the one loss so far in the amateurs. That loss was to Dillian Whyte on points.

    Ok if this was not the guy who got stopped recently then who was it? I heard a huge touted Brit amateur had been stopped recently and it was a bit of a surprise...any one cast a little knowledge?

    so looks like Joshua could be going to the Commonwealth game. Doesnt he look a little bit like Muhamad Ali as well.

    Just to let you know Deli, I haven't been picked for the England Olympic Squad. I'm representing the Isle of Man at the Commonwealths at 91kg so was in no way picked ahead of Anthony for the GB squad, I agree that would be daft. I'm over the moon he got the call, he's got the potential to go all the way and he will improve even further now with top quality International Experience. A very talented lad and a genuinely nice fella, good luck to him.

    He looks a good prospect. Fury got as much as he could handle off him in sparring for the McDermott fight, according to Tyson himself.

    That's him. He lost to a Romanian at the European Championships this year.
