Hopkins: Klitschko Should Return, But Not Face Joshua Again

And while it's possible that Joshua becomes slightly less good-natured as the years go by, it's also very likely that "AJ" stays faithful to the personality that has seen him rise through the heavyweight ranks at breakneck speed and put away a legend in Klitschko. "Boxing gives kids - like me, like Joshua - an outlet".

A stake in BXR London, a new line of boutique boxing gyms and registered "Anthony Joshua" trademarks on everything from headphones to towels to tofu point to the 27-year-old's own eye for earning potential outside of the ring.

Bernard Hopkins says boxing is in "fantastic shape" following Anthony Joshua's thrilling victory over Wladimir Klitschko and believes "the sky is the limit" for the undefeated Briton.

The champion said he was shocked when his fifth-round knockdown didn't finish his opponent.

"I was a shadow of my former glory but now I'm on my way back".

"Joshua is still just a baby with 19 fights, it took me 28 fights to become world champion. Moving into the last six I thought "alright, let me get my energy back".

"With what Joshua can bring now everyone will want to fight him because he is bringing the money to the table", Tyson toldESPN. When I say I've never been more confident, or more serious when I say something - I can play with that bodybuilder.

AJ has WBA and IBF mandatory obligations, plus Klitschko could invoke a rematch clause for an immediate return fight.

"The main thing I like about what I'm doing is there is some kid who's going to come up and be inspired about what we're achieving and go on to do bigger and better things than we're achieving".

Who do you want to see Joshua face next? "You've got the championship belts of the world and then you've got the entertainers of the world that haven't got belts at the minute, so it's whatever we want to do".

So five heavyweight fighters are waiting in the wings and Eddie Hearn is rubbing his hands together but who will get the nod? In the 11th, Joshua unloaded a bone-jarring right uppercut that almost severed Klitschko's head from his neck. "Just that one fight changed boxing, that one fight, and that's what fighting needs".
