Comments Thread For: Charles Martin-Anthony Joshua Announced, April 9 In London

Interesting, would have figured they would let it play out a bit before coming to this logical conclusion.

I wouldn't call it a great fight since both guys are not proven in the slightest, but is a good opportunity for both to start to prove their worth.

Don't know much about either but i hear Martin isn't that good and that Joshua is a beast. Im interested

[SilverMiles]

He didn't have to take the fight. Neither fighter dId and the fight is risky for both. It's unfortunate that this is too complex for you to understand.

It's not complex its just not something to celebrate. It's his job as a prize fighter. Do you get credit to showing up to work on time? Martin will get credit from me for winning the fight, if he does.

Interesting fight! We dont realy know how good Martin is. What we do know is that Joshua was in serious trouble against Whyte though...he can be happy that Whyte gassed out early. I would not bet on this one.

did you watch the czar fight? he literally doesn't know how to throw punches. like he looks like jorge kahwagi when he boxes.

Josh will think its his birthday, Christmas at the same time to get a chance like this he will be licking his lips.

Usually its a case of having to learn the trade and pro game and get more seasoned and experience to prepare for a say wlad, fury or vitali. But with a guy like martin all that isn't neccasary even josh will feel like he has won the lottery!

More like he lost the lottery. If he wins, he has to immediately fight Fury or disappoint his fanbase (if he gets past Wlad with a spongier ring and even shadier bottled water). If he loses, he lost to one of the worst title holders in heavyweight history. I know you Brits will always back your boys, but Deontay Wilder is a seasoned fighter compared to Anthony Joshua.

Wow that's surprising...intriguing turn of events in the HW division. Sink or swim for both really. And with a UK crowd, it will be a good event

[DJ Enerate]

Never seen Joshua fight but I know a lot of people are high on him. If he's as good as people say then he should ice Martin. I was not impressed with Martin at all.

Joshua is a big powerful man of the darker shade so you should like him.

I'm a lighter shade of brown kind of guy.
