By Scott Gilfoid: Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15 KOs) is making a mistake in looking past his opponent for this Saturday night in IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 KOs) towards a much hoped for title unification fight against IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) in the summer.
If you look at the above video of Joshua work out on the mitts, what jumps out at you is his complete lack of hand speed. Joshua has really slowed down quite a bit since he bulked up 30 pounds since turning pro just three years ago in 2013. Joshua is now like a slower version of Frank Bruno in my opinion. Joshua needs to look at some old video of him when he was 220, and get a clue that he needs to drop that weight he’s put on because he hasn’t made him a better fighter. The Joshua from 2009 would beat the same guys he’s fought as a pro but beat them easier.
Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn are practically salivating at the thought of fighting the 6’9” Fury in what would clearly be a big money fight. Unfortunately, the odds of the fight taking place under ideal conditions with both fighters being unbeaten are very slim.

However, with the 6’9” Fury recently re-injuring his back while helping his cousin Hughie Fury out, it remains to be seen whether the Fury-Klitschko fight can still take place in July.
