Anthony Joshua MBE is ready for his second pro fight on Saturday night (October 26) – and Paul Butlin has told him he’s going to take the fight to him live on Sky Sports at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield.

Joshua dismissed Emanuele Leo in the first round of his debut at The O2 earlier in the month, and now clashes with the experienced Leicestershire fighter in his Steel City second home, where he honed his skills with Team GB.

Im expecting verry much from this young talented fighter. He is tall, hes in great shape, dont talk no nonsense, seems like a nice guy and he knows he has much work in front of him to reach the top. I think he can go far. I just hope hes not another Price or Harrison, a guy with mental weakness and a glass chin. But that remains to be seen.

People think the heavyweight division is verry weak, on the other hand it is pretty difficult to reach the top. Look at all these promising prospects who seem to have it, most of them dont make it to the top. Its not as easy as it seems as a heavyweight.
You just need a verry good defense and a chin because a heavyweight can always punch. Best examples are Seth Mitchell and David Price.

We'll soon see if Joshua's another Lewis or another Harrison or Biggs. He could do with a few low key fights abroad.

Joshua should take his time.
... No need to rush things up.

I'm pulling for this kid. Wilder, too. We need something to bring excitement to the HW division.
