    Great British Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua is turning professional this week and could appear on the undercard of Carl Froch VS George Groves.

    Let's see what he's made of.

    But no matter what he does, he'll always be the guy that got gifted the gold at the London Olympics.

    "Great British Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua"

    Sorry but there is nothing 'great' about him

    Don't see him going far before he gets outboxed, but with the shitty heavyweight division it wouldn't be hard to pick the right opponents.

    Glad to hear it, hopefully he doesn't end up like Audley.

    If Medzhidov, Camarelle etc. couldn't knock him out I doubt the likes of opponents he'll be fighting in his first couple pro years will.

    He fought 3 rounds fights, with headgear on... and he was hurt.
    If you don't know things, don't speak, please.

    So you think he'll be knocked out by domestic opposition? Medzhidov, Camarelle, Dychko etc. are world class amateurs, he isn't gonna be thrown straight into the deep end. If your gonna be a **** about it, don't speak, please, this is a boxing discussion forum don't know why people such as yourself have to revert to insults just because you don't share the same opinion.

    Well he is black and from the UK so I expect he will be bashed on the forum by most. Farmboxer what do you think about Joshua?? DO you think he can beat Wilder.

    :patsch

    You are aware that every single ref & every single judge in every single fight Joshua had at the 2012 Olympics wasn't British?

    Just like the world championships the year before when Joshua won silver after losing to the home favourite by a single point in the final.

    30K posts on ESB & still a drooling spastic.
