  • Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Could Face Sprott or Skelton on April 19

    Anthony Joshua needed just 134 seconds to see off the challenge of Hector Avila in Glasgow and chalk up his fifth win as a professional.

    The British heavyweight endeared himself to the crowd at the SECC by heading to the ring to the sounds of the Proclaimers' '500 Miles' - and he quickly had the fans on their feet by flooring his Argentine opponent.

    Avila had taken another Brit, Dereck Chisora, nine rounds just under a year ago but failed to even get out of the first, his night coming to a premature end when he walked onto a left counter.

    'The Shark' was attempting to lead in with a right himself but was caught by a chopping blow that sent him flat on his back. The referee began the count but it soon became apparent the bout was over.

        Harrison was going 6 rounds with guys like Avila in the early stages of his career and already showing the tentative style he is now famous for

          I'd be surprised if they want to get in the ring with Joshua. He's destroying his opposition for fun.

            Joshua will most likely ease past those guys too.

              Talking about british fighters, there are some pissible next opponents. There is also Martin Rogan and Sam Sexton. I think he should go after all these 4 and after that fight a top20 opponent.

                  Lets not forget that Wilder has been fighting Avila type opponents well after 20 pro fights. Build Joshua up correctly and he will be in the mix in 2016 - not before.
