His biggest test is going to be in October, when he faces Michael Sprott.
I fail to see how Sprott would be a big test. Joshua annihilated Skelton who has beaten Sprott twice (Sprott won their third and final fight on split decision).I suppose Sprott is highly ranked in the UK (somehow), so giving him a beating will put Joshua in the top 5 perhaps.

Warren also said he expects to announce a new date for Fury's rematch with Chisora in the coming week despite Fury's insistence he will not now give the Londoner another fight.
Speaking at Friday's weigh-in for the Ustinov fight, Fury said: "Chisora had his opportunity and fluffed it up for whatever reason.
"Now I want Bermane Stiverne, the WBC champion, because at least I know he will fight. I am not going to keep giving someone opportunities when I know they are not going to take them."
Naturally, I hope that his uncle recovers but it will be interesting to see if Fury now reconsiders his postion on his statement - I wonder if he would still have been withdrawn had it been Chisora he was fighting tonight.Speaking at Friday's weigh-in for the Ustinov fight, Fury said: "Chisora had his opportunity and fluffed it up for whatever reason.
"Now I want Bermane Stiverne, the WBC champion, because at least I know he will fight. I am not going to keep giving someone opportunities when I know they are not going to take them."
I think it would be quite hypocritical of him if he continued with that viewpoint.

I hear the Macklin fight is now off due to Jamie Moore's shooting (or being shot more accurately) the plot thickens...
