    For every superstar, there is one fight that makes you the next big thing. For him in the UK, it was the Dillian Whyte fight. For the US it will be the Klitschko fight.

    For mayweather, it was the delahoya fight. Do you think he can become a PPV star in the states?

    Superstardom? What? He's gotta become a star first.

    With 800k twitter followers, selling 90k tickets for Wembley and 600k+ PPV buys, he's not a star?

    He's obviously the second biggest name in boxing

    If Joshua is not careful, he might very well get knocked out himself..................

    For me, Joshua winning against a determined Wlad on points is good enough. Wlad is a very good boxer, to even outpoint him for 12 rounds would probably be more convincing for some than an early knockout where doubters of Joshua may say 'lucky punch just like McCall against Lewis'. Knockout at the end where Joshua has been winning all the rounds, IMO will not only shoot him to super stardom but it will make other boxers fear him a bit more, perhaps.
