Very nice, staying active

I hope they bring Joshua on quick, like Hughie.

He's still a little raw defensively, so needs to be matched carefully.

Good fight. Butlin is a tough seasoned journeymen who's been in with some decent fighters. He'd probably be a top 3 win for Deontay Wilder.

Says a lot. Thumbs up to matchroom.

Is that the Kell Brook card?

I wonder if Hearn is going to do what he said and put Joshua on that card, the Froch-Groves Card and the Barker-Sturm card.

Butlin has been around the block and is tough.....so AJ should get a bit of useful ring time and maybe find out what it is like to get hit by a pro heavy.
