    Before the fight Glazkov was ranked 1. . number 2 was empty , martin was 3 and Teper was 4. number 5 was Joshua

    since teper has been busted for peds, does this mean Joshua will become the new mandatory? also how soon will the IBF enforce a mandatory for martin

    God, joshua will put a severe quick beatdown on martin. Martin says he'll fight anyone.

    Love this fight for joshua, terrible mismatch tho

    I hope the IBF enforce a mandatory on Martin soon as he is the least legit champion I can ever remember, tom dallas is the best name on the mans resume

    The IBF does not elevate fighters to mandatory status by process of elimination. Joshua will have to fight the highest ranked available opponent for the mandatory status...

    so Martin got the title fight by beating Tom Dallas? I guess Joshua just needs to beat tom to become mandatory

    Martin got his IBF title shot because the title was VACATED. Now that there is an IBF champion @ HW, the mandatory will be determined when the two highest ranked available HWs meet...

    Martin just scared Glazkov so bad he shat himself and to have an early night.

    Don't blame Martin for this fiasco, this is all on the shoulders of Duva and Glazkov.

    Martin ain't that bad tbf and no way does AJ just have his way with him, the only fighter on AJ's resume that would trouble Martin is Whyte and Whyte gave AJ hell.

    Joshua may be able to beat Martin now, but if i was his handlers i would have a few more fights first against increasingly harder opposition.

    Beating Martin is one thing, but facing the other top guys is another. AJ has been very impressive thus far in his career, but he still needs to be tested more before he is ready to be a champion and take on all comers.

    Martin won every single round against Love, Martin doesn't just blast guys out he likes to box them and look for openings.

    Don't get me wrong I have AJ as a clear favourite, I just don't expect it to be an easy night at all.

    Carlos Takam? I heard Parker's camp is chasing him, and with Parker at 7, Takam at 6 and Joshua at 5....

    How would a win over Takam by Parker change rankings?

    Ibf will be the route Joshua will take, wilder is all talk and won't fight the likes of fury, Haye or Joshua

    LOL.

    If I were Wilder, I'd be chomping at the bit for a Joshua fight. Easy work for Wilder...

    Exactly WHO has Joshua beaten?

    There are so many BUMs, STIFFs, TOMATO CANs, No Hopers and NEVER WEREs on Joshua's resume that it even makes the Triple Duck blush...

    :D

    Joshua has only been a pro for 2 years and only had 15 fights, and has two recognised names already.

    I think you are mixing up Joshua's resume with Wilders.
