Joshua vs Martin is a Heavyweight clash with a bunch of pesky questions hovering over it. Sure, Joshua is the clear favorite going in, but the fact of the matter is that we don’t know enough about Charles Martin to label him a no-hoper just yet. Martin’s record is generally unimpressive in way of quality oppositon, with his successful world title shot against Vyacheslav Glazkov producing more quandaries than answers. But he’s also an awkward, unbeaten Heavyweight who has the size and power to turn lights out.
