    Mine would be:

    Reece Belloti:
    I would say Reece Belloti was pretty obscure up until very recently but he has definitely impressed me in the ring and Matchroom have seemed to be doing a very good job of promoting him recently.

    Arfan Iqbal:
    Been following him since the camacho win and have been inpressed my his fan friendly style and power. Seems like everyone's ducking him too since his promoters said chamberlain and okolie etc have turned him down so he wants Luke Watkins next. Looks tubby at cruiserweight and im not too sold on his style being the best defensively.

    Lucien Reid is also looking very fan friendly and quite naz-esque in my opinion. Hes in a division with quite a few domestic clashes to be made and i would like to see him face gavin mcdonnell or gamal yafai in the next few years.

    Who are yours?

    Some might disagree, but I think Joe Joyce has gone under the radar a bit. He's had none of the fanfare Joshua received but he might be quite special.

    He's rightly gotten praise for taking on Lewison in his pro debut, but his time in the WSB is worth more than 20 pro fights against the usual suspects.

    He's vunerable to a certain style but as long as he's guided correctly I think he could be a star, despite not having the profile afforded to brit heavies who've come before.

    I'm expecting him to make a statement on Friday.
