Big Aj v martin for the IBF belt April 9th London...big jump for Joshua but will more than likely be heavyweight champ in his 16th fight...

AJ will win this but with all the alphabet world titles available, being a "World Champion" is a very shallow term now.

Still bizarre that Charles Martin is considered a "heavyweight champ".  A bit disturbing actually  :-\

Joshua is getting set up pretty well here.  A chance to win the belt, and defend it against a mediocre mandatory.  Allows him to be a developing champion, while preparing for a super fight against Fury or Wilder.  This could potentially create two very big fights, including a huge domestic clash with two Brits holding a belt.

The Haye of a few years back beats them all, but I'm still not convinced he's as good now. Di Mori barely looked like he knew how to box. Haye has a lot to prove still.

True he hasn't been tested since he retired, but I'm true in stating that they all fear him, AJ will beat him with a little more experience, would also be a huge Wembley stadium sized fight if timed right, what would be interesting would be if klitchko beat fury in the rematch, it would have to be wilder/AJ next in line.

Some great fights down the line..

Martin is terrible and outside of a lucky punch AJ should have a belt around his waist after this fight. I want to see AJ fight Joseph Parker.

I guess "super fights" aren't what they used to be.

For the heavyweight division...that's as good as it would get.  But, for someone that is still true boxing fan, and not just your casual 'sports' fan, those are exciting fights at this point.

People had better not sleep on Charles Martin.  He is not as bad as you guys think.

Martin has 1 notable win vs glazkov however that was an injury for glazkov.  Martin is a beer can for joshua.  Joshua has all the skills I think to be a champion for a bit at least.  He is far superior to wilder.  Wilder will duck him as long as possible.
