    How far can this guy go? He stands 2 metres tall apparently and has the looks, the charisma, the fan base and seemingly a fair bit of talent - an enormous right hand.

    I'd like to see him in with Alen Babic or Dave Allen.

    It's hard to say... he was wild swinging against an over-matched opponent.

    Alen Babic and Dave Allen won't ever be world beaters so it's not out of the realms of possibility that he couldn't beat both of them.

    If Robinson's defense is on point then i could see him beating both.

    Babic looks a bit more tighter defensively but he's still relatively easy to hit at british fringe euro level.

    Johnny Fisher is another one who's 3-0 who he could fight in the future.

    To be fair to this guy, he already said he isn't technically the best but surely he'll improve (as long as he isn't pushed too hard).

    Despite Drago's inexperience, all it takes is for that big right to land and who's to say Joshua could withstand that?

    Two stiffs = a decent domestic dust up and it could boost Joshua's CV

    Drago didn't look that stiff for a man of apparently 2m. He came prancing out fleet footed and was quick to put it on his game opponent. A quick, but memorable and decent quality domestic clash tonight.

    Let's see more of that, Boxxer. There must be at least another few dozen Joshua's out there waiting to be unearthed.

    From what I've seen he'll never amount to much, if he wins a British title I think he'll have done well, his boxing technique is dreadful.

    Too early to tell. It’s always interesting watching a fighters career develop, especially when they start stepping up the levels. What looks good to start with can fizzle out quickly. Boxing finds them out eventually, one way or the other.

    Tom Little is one of the worst boxers to ever appear regularly (relatively) on television.

    Drago would walk right through him.
