Matt Skelton admits he should not have compared Anthony Joshua to Audley Harrison after suffering a crushing stoppage defeat to the heavyweight prospect.
The Bedford man risked the wrath of Joshua by suggesting he was making similar mistakes to Harrison in the build-up to their fight in Liverpool last Saturday.
This verbal attack appeared even more unwise when Skelton was ruthlessly stopped in two rounds and with time to reflect, he gave a more glowing assessment of the 24-year-old Londoner.
Skelton fought for the WBA title back in 2008, losing on points against Ruslan Chagaev, and believes Joshua has the potential to become a future world champion.
