Anthony Joshua & Wladimir Klitschko: Sparring, Feud, Friendship And British & World Heavyweight Champion Boxing - AJ Prepares To Take On Denis Bakhtov & Michael Sprott
The entire world loves sports, and many of those people are always lost in trying to find the 'next big thing'. Every once in a while a talent emerges, and shows the whole world that he's for real. Anthony Joshua is doing just that for boxing. In fact, the talented British boxer is so good that he has recently sparred with world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, and received great praise from him. Joshua, unlike many rivals, is fighting every month or two. Next up is Denis Bakhtov, and then Michael Sprott, in fights that will give him an international title, and make him first in line to become the British heavyweight champion. Next up is Wlad's world title.
Of course, Joshua was has a long way to go, so it's unlikely that he'd fight Wlad. With their growing friendship, the pair wouldn't want to fight anyway. However, Wlad may well continue to guide him, hoping that he can almost hand the title to Joshua on a platter. That doesn't mean it will be easy for the star. First he has to beat Denis, and then he will become an international champion. Then weeks later he will fight Sprott, trying to win the British title.
It's likely that the European title will be the next in his sight, and then he can begin to think about the heavyweight title. Many British boxers are heavyweight title contenders, but AJ appears destined to box his way to the very top, and he's not prepared to wait around, ensuring that he fights several times a year, making his growth all the more a much quicker process.
Can AJ dominate boxing, or will this good guy be yet another star that falls short of living up to his extreme potential?
