World's Biggest Heavyweight Boxing Prospect Anthony Joshua Destroys Another Opponent At Collision Course: Is Wladimir Klitschko Next?

Not many heavyweight boxers have been able to land a solid punch on Wladimir Klitschko, let alone beat him for his titles, but we may have just found the new kid on the block, who very well could be the heavyweight champion of the world in the coming years. Meet Anthony Joshua, the British star of the 2012 Olympics, who is ready to take on the world. The young prospect has won every fight in his short professional career, and in front of thousands of opponents last night at Collision Course in Liverpool, he beat veteran Matt Skelton. The prospect has been winning his fights in the first few rounds, andonce again Joshia saw to it that it was over before it started.

Joshua beat Skelton with a flurry of punches in the second round, but his team are trying to control the hype. Despite many believing he could fight at the very top tomorrow, they're insisting he will get there, but he will earn his stripes, hone his skills and gain some much-needed experience before he climbs the heavyweight rankings.

Joshua has speed, power, size...everything a boxer could want. Many believe he's already better than top (British) heavyweights like Tyson Fury. Joshua's team aren't willing to take on a risky fight just yet, though. Fight by fight the rounds are being extended and the challenge grows tougher; sooner or later he's going to find himself in the midst of a world title shot.

Can Joshua dismantle Klitschko, or will the Ukrainian champ be long retired before the Brit phenom blasts his way to the top of the heavyweight rankings?
