He took a world title fight on short notice with his back against the wall not his fault his opponent had a freak injury.
Not like he is trying to hold his title hostage like a lot seemed too think, he wanted Wilder, Fury and took the next best thing in Joshua. He deserves nothing but praise and part of me wants him to do well, I hope he proves all these doubters wrong.

That IBF belt is about as paper as you can get. If you don't want to recognise that WBO belt because it wasn't held by the true heavyweight champion then fair enough, but you have to be consistent and apply the same rule to Martin's IBF belt.

Still think Joshua should've waited but absolutely nothing but respect for both for taking this fight though! Look forward to it! 2016 Schedule looking good for Heavyweights, just need for Wilder vs Povetkin to become official!
Also this fight getting done means that Wilder is NOT "Dropping The WBC Title To Fight Martin" as some was trying to say he would
