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.

Just heard that Fury vs Ustinov has been called off after Hughie Fury (the uncle, not the cousin) was taken seriously ill...best of luck to him for a swift recovery.

Sky Sports said:
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will be interesting to see if Fury now reconsiders his postion on his statement - I wonder if he would still have been withdrawn had it been Chisora he was fighting tonight.

I think it would be quite hypocritical of him if he continued with that viewpoint.

Ustinov is big slow crude man but fury looked decidedly uncomfortable when they came face to face. He did the sunglasses routine he performed at the david haye face off. Is ustinov too high a risk for too little reward?

I felt Fury was flustered at the conference. He looked really uncomfortable in general. I fancied a few quid on Ustinov. Anyone giggle a bit at Franks " Belasaurus" slip up?

Anyone watch Golovkin vs Geale, seen the first two rounds, when Golovkin put Geale down. His after Miguel Cotto now.

I watched it. Whilst Geale didn't cause Golovkin many problems you can see how a very aggressive fighter might be able to catch him. Golovkin is very impressive though, and it's going to take a special fighter to beat him (let alone last 12 rounds with him)

yes Golovkin is a monster. Who's out there that could beat him or give him a proper fight?

Cotto would make for a great fight. Otherwise the better fights can be found if and when Golovkin moves up a weight

fk! You get the impression from his TV work and the way he comes across that he's a down to earth bloke, I'd like to think he's clean and this is just some kind of random knob head, but in the legs sounds like some kind of retribution for something, not that I'm one to gossip <pushes up moobs>

No cut for Matchroom!

Hmmmm

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

Their cut will be within the Sky outgoings.

I think Hearn and/or Matchroom might also get a cut of Froch's purse as his manager in additon to being the promoter.
