Joshua hasn't even been the British Champion yet so I'd hardly get ahead of ourselves. He's a hell of a prospect and if Fury is still Champion when Joshua is ready for a World Title Fight. The Fight would sell any stadium out in the country!

Agreed on Haye although physically he will always struggle against the biggest heavyweights and there has to be question marks over his fitness. One minute he was medically retired and now he's fine. Plus he's 35.

Haye's probably starting to run out of money... or wants the attention on himself again.

I'm not getting ahead of myself? The British title is the traditional route in boxing, but he's already Commonwealth champion?
I rate him top 5 in the world.

True.
His shoulder injury was pretty horrific to be fair to him, but it remains to be seen how effective he will be.
 
Wladimir Klitschko to take up the option of a rematch with Tyson Fury.
 
If he boxes more aggressively he will win comfortably
 
Eubank Jr looking very good. Amazing hand speed and taken a few big punches too.
 
O'Sullivan's corner pull him out. Probably the right move as he wasn't throwing anything.
 
He was going to get hurt, Eubank was landing some great punches.

Looks like he could be a fantastic boxer, if he can keep hold of himself.
 
He's really improved his power since last time I saw him. Always been decent technically but never felt he could put people away - but pretty brutal tonight.
 
Impressed with Eubank there. Some chin Spike has got though but right decision to pull him out as taking that many clean shots can't be good.
 
I think he thought it was easy after the first round and got a bit complacent. He's not using his jab enough and looks a bit stiff but still bossing the fight so far.
 
He's boxing better now. Probably the first time we've seen him box, rather than just throw punches.

Yeah, agreed. Walked onto a couple and it rocked him. Better last couple of rounds
 
Think sky didn't bother doing a score card for this - not seen one pop up! Think Joshua is winning by 4 or 5.
 
Whyte's been a lot more durable than I thought he would be. Not bad for a rude boi with love handles.
 
Yeah much better now but it does show he's still got a lot to learn. He has to work on that head movement because he simply doesn't move it.
 
That's more like it!

Hope white is ok.
