Anthony Joshua Becomes OBE (Officers of the Order of the British Empire ) by akeentech(m): 6:54am On Jun 09, 2018
World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has received an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
The Sky Sports Ambassador currently holds WBA, IBF and WBO titles after winning his March unification clash with Joseph Parker and was honoured for his services to boxing.

This is the latest accolade for the 28-year-old Joshua, who was rewarded with an MBE in 2013 after claiming an Olympic gold medal at the London 2012 Games.

Joshua hopes to face WBC champion Deontay Wilder, with all the major belts at stake, but admits negotiations must remain 'realistic'.

A WBA mandatory title defence against Alexander Povetkin could firstly take place in September, if the Wilder fight cannot be agreed for this year.

What madness are u talking about is it the way he spends his money or his fighting skills.

With the little boys wilder is defeating up and down, compare them to AJ's opponent and spot the difference.
Wilder is just an empty barrel who has fought weaker opponents all through his career.

When wilder stops ducking simply because he's petrified to face a bigger opponent in joshua.
Deontay only basks in the euphoria of knocking down small boys, let em go face TAKAM and lets see if goes past round three.

An agreement must be reached first, you can just wake up today and conclude that you are going to fight tommorrow and moreso, he has a mandatory challenger which he must face before anyother fight.

He would knockout Takam na. If Povetkin could ko takam wilder would. Wilder has power and stamina. Joshua has no stamina,

Not hating but I don’t think he has done any spectacular yet in his field nevertheless congrats to the boy from Ogun State.

My question is whether Wilder will collect all 3 AJ's titles assuming he beats AJ. I know for sure that if AJ beats him, AJ will add WBC champion to his title making him the holder of all 4 World titles. I don't know if the reverse will apply for Wilder considering that AJ has 3 titles.

thumbs up @ AJ!.... just avoid wilder for now cos that dude's record is damn scary!
