Wladimir Klitschko, Hayden Panettiere, David Haye & Anthony Joshua: AJ Slams Own Boxing Ability, Prepares For Hayemaker As Engaged & Father-To-Be Wlad Helps Heavyweight Prospect

Matchroom boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is insisting that Anthony Joshua will beat Denis Bakhtov, then fight David Haye in the near future, but could he fight his close pal, the world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko? AJ is regarded as one of the best boxing prospects ever, but strangely he has hit out at himself, saying he's "not that good," however, Wlad disagrees with that. The champion recently trained with AJ, and was then full of praise, and with him edging closer to retirement, could AJ face him, or replace him as the boxing king? Before long the recently engaged Wlad will want to spend time with Hayden Panettiere and his yet-to-be-born baby, but could he help AJ to take his place?

Haye is attempting a comeback, and he wants to prove he can beat AJ, but Wlad has already insisted that AJ has a lot more to offer than the veteran. Despite everybody talking about AJ, he doesn't rate himself, it seems.

"Everyone has a level and I haven't found it yet. People are saying 'Anthony's level is at world stage' but I don't buy into that yet," he explained. "I haven't brought it to reality, once I do that then I will believe in my ability. Right now, I seriously don't think I'm a good fighter yet, I'm learning and have got a long way to go. That's how I keep the pressure off me. I'm rubbish! The people that I'm fighting have more pressure, I have that contender mentality."

However, he's regarded that highly that everybody is sure he will beat Denis this weekend, and then his next fights, leading up to an all-British heavyweight clash with the Hayemaker. Wlad has been helping AJ, and it seems as if he might just be preparing the prospect to take his place when he retires, which is evidently coming in the near future.

Is AJ worth this hype, and can he beat Denis and Haye, and can he replace the world heavyweight champion?
