The next British Heavyweight World Champion

[GeordieDS]

Well big AJ fighting Kevin Johnston on Saturday - test??

Looking at Johnson he looks pretty determined but we'll know more when we see him with his top off, if he has a spare tyre then we know he's here to roll over for a bigger pay packet but if he's well conditioned then we'll find out just how heavy handed AJ is.

There's some good fights on this card with the main event Brook v Gavin
Frankie Gavin is a very good boxer but this fight is coming way to soon for him
Thoughts?

Johnson is a useful opponent only because he's tough - he's never achieved anything much in his career and has spent his last several years talking a good fight and then doing very little.

He's lost five of his last six but never stoppped so we should get to find out how AJ is in the latter stages,to much muscle can seriously tire you out as Bruno found out after ten rounds,AJ will be throwing lots of punches so if he doesn't get rid of Johnson then we'll find out a lot more about him

What time's the fight, and is it on council TV?

It's on box nation and the time depends how long previous fights last,I'm guessing 10pm

Kahn is fighting on box nation at 2am this morning, on UK Turk if you have an Android box

Showed his true class tonight Joshua. Strong opponent and can honestly say he's looking to dominate the sport.

he actually looks better than i gave him credit for.

Definitely time to give him some real opponents now - Johnson was supposed to last a while at least, but nobody ever did that to him before.

[GeordieDS]

Yes very impressive but Johnson had lost five of his previous six which tells us he is well into decline and it's a good time to fight him, he didn't throw anything but a few jabs.
AJ's next opponents are going to be very interesting as he's looking very very good but also way to inexperienced to put him in with anobody who can give him a test by actually punching him in the face which nobody has done yet.

I'm thinking Price,Chisora,Fury then step him up to the likes of Char,Potevkin etc before a mega money fight with Haye and let's face it getting punters dosh is all boxing is about these days.

Klitschko then retires because he don't want anything to do with AJ at this point in his career so that leaves Big punching and improving Deontay Wilder for the undisputed title.

Yes and even Tyson fury called Joshua a machine on Twitter. So impressed ,now watched it again and his composure in the ring is excellent.

Ok so goodnight Kevin Johnston

Klitschko will have reitred by time Joshua is remotely ready to face him, but if not, unless Joshua learns how to defend himself, he'll be lucky to last four rounds with the Ukranian.

Joshua looked good bowling over Kevin Johnson, but the only thing Johnson was expected to do was take a few shots - he was never expected to win because he was basically a journeyman.

Joshua needs to take it steady rather than go the David Price route - Fury's career is a good example of moving talent along briskly but still testing them along the way.

As for Haye, it's three years since he last got in a ring and he's spent more time talking about fighting than actually doing it ever since he moved to heavyweight. I doubt he'll ever make a serious return to boxing, because he's in love with being a celebrity, not a fighter.

What's your point?

[Byrom]

There are other contenders to be next British Heavyweight World Champion - Tyson Fury and David Haye but I think sadly we can count this David Price fella out of the reckoning for now - seen here loosing to the guy who works in my local kebab shop
