Olympic gold medal winner Anthony Joshua (10-0, 10KOs) is growing in confidence as he plows through the competition. On January 31, he steps in the ring with heavyweight veteran Kevin Johnson.

But if Joshua could pick the perfect domestic opponent - he would select former two division champion David Haye (26-2, 24KOs). Haye has been inactive since a July 2012 knockout of Chisora. He was twice scheduled to face Tyson Fury and withdrew with injuries.

"If I was to line them all up, David Haye is the one I would like to fight. He’s the best and when you fight the best it brings the best out in you. I need to step up, which is what we’re doing. I think we’re going to take some risky fights and I’m sure I’ll overcome them," Joshua said.
