Now this is a great and smart smart move. Joshua ia the first British boxer in a long long time where I am increasingly impressed with the way he is being nurtured and brought along!

Cynics will say it's Wlad's way of checking him out so he can either...

A/ Give him a shot whilst he's raw and get him out of the way or
B/ Decide to duck him and retire before he gets to polished

It makes total sense for Klitschko to scout him out and see what the fuss is. I really hope it doesn't mean hes intending to still be around in 2/3 years time though.

Great for AJ. Sod Wlad's intentions, AJ will learn more from sparring with Wlad and being in his camp than from a lot of his fights, to be honest.

Its a great move from both.

Wlad can test the younger fighter out and get a good idea of how to fight him SHOULD he offer up a fight (which I don;t see happening)

and Joshua gets up close and personal with THEE man in the division. Confidence wise its a massive bonus. Larry Holmes used to spar with Ali and he always talks about how much of a learning curve that was for him.

I think hes chose him as sparring partner as hes the best out there who isnt a potential opponent. Simple as that.

Who was that aimed at Monty? I don't see anyone implying that Wlad ducks opponents?
