Will AJ really fight Charles Martin?

It's not a bad idea to take it. I know he's still developing and they said being a champion might stop his development with the right fights but this is the IBF, their top 10 and possible mandatories are just fighters like Glazkov, Teper, Cunningham, Ruiz etc. So these are the fights he would have probably been taking anyway for further development so he might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone and possibly win a title and fight them at the same time.

Dillian Whyte has sparred Martin several times and apparently he usually gets the better of him. So AJ will take the fight if it's on the table.

If i was Eddie Hearn I'd snap Martin's hand off & offer to fight him next week. Easy work.

its up to haymon really. obviously its an easy fight. much easier than his last fight and he gets a "belt" so yea why wouldn't he want to fight martin? the guy simply doesn't know to throw punches. his jab was the slowest thing on earth and had no snap on it at all. his "left hand" windmill thingy was completely telegraphed and had no snap on it either. the only reason czar didn't destroy him before snapping his knee is because czar is small and tentative. Aj is bigger than martin and not afraid. easy first round ko. maybe second if martin can stumble to the corner.

If a world champion is calling you out then you should make the fight happen,whether it be in America or the UK,Hearn should jump at the chance for his fighter. If it makes sense,Eddie will make it happen,that's my opinion on the matter.Then when Joshua beats Martin,it sets up a meaningful fight with the gayemaker in the summer or winter.
