'My fear is everybody’s overrating Joshua on the basis of Klitschko fight'
After Anthony Joshua stopped Carlos Takam in ten hard rounds in Cardiff, boxing correspondent Mike Costello questions whether Joshua is being overrated as a boxer as a result of his epic win over Wladimir Klitschko in April.
Costello believes that the nature of Joshua’s performance against Takam exposed some areas in his skill set that still need to be improved before he takes on the other big names in the heavyweight division.
He also compares Joshua’s performance against Klitschko to Tyson Fury’s back in 2015, when Fury became the first man in over a decade to beat Klitschko.
