    You'd think, but this is the IBF though remember. Very stringent with mandatories. The same org that have forced Jo Jo Dan and Kevin Bizier on Brook...

    True but remember Hearn has to try and get casuals to shell out for PPV

    I suppose AJ as champ makes that easier though

    I agree, Charles Martin must be one of the weakest heavyweight champs of all time. He is not even top 20 let alone top 10.

    I guess it was always the case.. 16-0 (16) IBF..

    Although really Fury is the only real champ and Wilder..


    Hughie might still get a chance at the Joshua/Martin winner..
     
  5. They managed to make a vacant British title fight top a PPV bill, they won't struggle to sell him as a world champ.

    Although does IBF really mean champion today? It's a stripped belt..

    Hearn must be poping the Moet tonight. He can sell this Martin fraud to Joe public as a competitive fight and charge £19.95 a skull on SBO.

    Either way it makes a great path for 7-0..

    Pretty sure because of his ranking it will be a mandatory for Charles Martin. Soif Joshua wins expect his 1st defence to be a voluntary vs Chisora...also on PPV. Then Takam in Dec.

    All routine wins vs B class people. Martin is C class, so a small step up.

    Expect Whyte to get the rematch if AJ wins.

    Parker? Pulev? Tyson? Wlad? Wilder? Yeah right... Those fights won't happen! :lol::lol::lol:

    Whyte won't get rematched - he'd get beaten worse next time.

    Maybe Wilder. Wilder will know how green Joshua still is and might fancy his chances.

    But I don't count chickens ... Joshua hasn't beaten Martin yet.

    Martin went 10 rounds with Zumbano love not long ago.
    AJ will put Martin away in 3 I reckon

    The Love Machine is actually quite tough.

    For me this lasts somewhere into the mid rounds- I doubt Joshua starts quickly this time.
