Anthony Joshua is only the second boxer in history to win a professional world heavyweight title while still reigning as the Olympic champion at the top weight.

Who was the first?

Although technically you could argue that Joshua is the 1st to be a World champ at heavy and Olympic champ at Super heavy which was not introduced unti 1984

Not really had the time to study it properly, and I'm not gonna put up guesswork. Don't think there is much interest in it anyway.  Enzo's been an accident waiting to happen for a long time. Kucher is tough and decent (fought a decent fight against recent Bellew opponent makubu, and was beaten on points, but made a decent scrap of it). but he's not the biggest and I don't know if he has real KO power, but with Enzo's chin you never Know, Enzo can still bang a bit though, but there's no value in not going the distance. Sorry if it sounds like a cop out, but I'm leaving this one alone. Plain
What do you think yourself Nick?

Enzo blasted out in the 1st Round. Has sensibly decided to retire now. Thank goodness!

Not sure my opinion would be worth much, Des. Not so keen as I was back in the 80s and 90s and I haven't got Sky, so I don't get to watch a lot of boxing.

Keep posting your previews though.

Cheers nick. I put a few bob on Kucher after all, on my 365 account as a mug bet, kind of expecting to lose so they will be more inclined to keep me on the offers, but I'm on a lucky streak with them. So, I'll take it while it lasts, which won't be long.
As far as the answer to the last question goes I thought it was Bozy, but I'll bet it happens quite a lot. If a powerful bloke was smashing me in the face, I would sh1t myself too, tbh! It's hard for people to understand what it is like to be hit by a good boxer, no matter how tough you may be.  I remember once, the actor Mickey Rourke who was a fairly tough guy, saying that he was sparring with Tommy Hearns once. And when tommy hit him he was sick non-stop for about 10 hours afterwards.
