So, looks like Anthony Joshua is being set up for an IBF title fight. He's been offered a world title eliminator fight vs Carlos Takam according to the IBF chairman.

Callum Smith is in a final eliminator for WBC super middleweight title. He'll fight Hadillah Mohoumadi in April.

David Haye says his next fight will be on May 21st at the O2 Arena - no opponent as of yet though.

And according to skysports, Khan and Garcia will fight in June.

What do you guys think?

{Ed025's Note - i think callum will sweep everything before him hsf, hes my favourite boxer to watch at the moment, i really like joshua but feel its maybe a bit early for him to mix it with the big guys just yet, whyte ran him quite close and he needs a lot more rounds imo, khan v garcia excites me if only that i want khan to shut garcias big mouthed father up..

I think Joshua is capable of beating Charles Martin. I thought Glazkov was winning until the knee injury in my opinion. But on AJ vs Whyte you have to take into consideration, these guys have a genuine dislike for each other and quite clearly put a lot of emotion in the fight. I saw a video of Joshua after the fight talking with the guy who runs Matchroom, he was furious with himself for the way he let it all get to him. It will be very different vs a guy who he doesn't naturally hate.

I agree with you on Smith, he does look like a world beater. I thought he'd beat Fielding but I really didn't think it would be the battering that it was.

And Garcia beats Amir easy like last time for me.

{Ed025's Note - garcia suckered him hsf, it wont happen next time and for me hes a bit wiser now and will be really up for this mate..

Can't see it myself Ed025, I just don't think he's got a strong enough chin. Garcia hit him on the neck last time and that put him on the canvas.

{Ed025's Note - as you say hsf he got lucky with a punch, i believe khan greatly underestimated him last time and we know hes not the greatest of trainers, but this will be a career defining fight and if he loses will retire i expect mate..

Well that's fair enough. For me though it sure looks like he's trying for a payday, chasing lost cause fights in Mayweather and Pacqiao would go with your retirement statement.

{Ed025's Note - he needs money to fund projects he has ongoing in dubai im hearing hfs, it must be hard for these guys to manage.. :)

It's a bit telling that khan is looking for a pay day/probably retiring is he loses again that to me he's no where near the needed class,physically he's just entered his prime and should be looking to seal several fights over the next 4 years for big money and against elite fighters,not calling out Manny and Floyd trying to earn a quick $20-30 million
