His opponent for the fight will be Hrvoje Kisicek who has a 5-6-0 record. Nobody is kidding themselves that this 6 rounder is going to be a test for Joshua, its a boost to his record and nothing else.
Most of Kisicek’s fights have gone the distance so I can only think Matchroom want to give Joshua rounds but that just isn’t going to happen. Kisicek’s best opponent has been Hughie Fury, Fury the man who say’s he is going to beat Tyson’s record for the youngest heavyweight champion was taken to the end bell against Kisicek in a 6 rounder.
By Scott Gilfoid: American heavyweight James Toney (75-8-3, 45 KO’s) surprisingly said that he feels that 2012 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist Anthony Joshua (2-0, 2 KO’s) will beat heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) if they were to face each other in six months. Toney is really high on Joshua after seeing some of his recent pro fights. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight prospect Anthony Joshua (2-0, 2 KO’s) will be back in the ring next month against Dorian Darch (7-2, 1 KO’s) in 6-round at the ExCel Arena, Dockland, London, United Kingdom. This one shapes up to be a mismatch because Darch isn’t much of a puncher, and he was recently beaten by Hughie Fury and Ian Lewison. 
By Scott Gilfoid: 37-year-old journeyman Paul Butlin (14-19, 3 KO’s) is hoping to pull off an upset tonight when he faces 2012 British Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist in a scheduled 6 round fight on the undercard of the Kell Brook vs. Vyacheslav Senchenko card at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Butlin intends on taking the fight in close and hammering Joshua with head shots. Joshua is a decent fighter on the outside, but he has no inside game at all other than holding.
