A lot of doors opened up for Charles 'Prince' Martin (23-0-1) when he defeated Czar Glazkov to win the vacant IBF heavyweight title in January. Glazkov tore his ACL in the third round and was unable to continue.

Martin, who is advised by boxing power broker Al Haymon, is currently preparing for his April 9th title defense against 2012 Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15KOs). 

Should he get past Joshua, the 29-year-old will have several options available to him. One of which would be an unification bout against WBC title holder Deontay Wilder (36-0, 34KOs) who is also advised by Haymon.

Wilder also has some business to take care of. He has a mandatory defense coming up against Olympic gold medal winner and former champion Alexander Povetkin.

"He is a champion as well. I am not going to talk down or underestimate no champions. I hope he does well and when we meet it will be a different story and I will be focusing on him but right now it is all about AJ.

"That is the guy I see in my dreams and when I wake up and when I am doing my strength and conditioning.  I see him when I am boxing and sparring. I picture I am sparring him. We have some big business to take care of on April 9th," Martin told BoxingScene.com.

Martin couldn't care less that he opened up as a 7-1 underdog against Joshua and said that he is going to do what he always does.

"I am going to handle my business and be victorious. All I do is win. That is all I know how to do, which is win," said Martin.
