Boxing

He's a world champion (of sorts) - that's a step up no matter what in this sport.

Not much of a step up granted, but Joshua has already shown he can be hurt badly by this standard of fighter. Might have just been overconfidence as a one off, and I think he will win tonight, but I don't think it's necessarily as definite as some make out.
Beating Glaskov who injured his knee mid way through the fight doesn't qualify him as a world champion in my eyes mate - definition of a paper champion, and i know id be pretty suprised if Joshua doesn't win by ko but Martin has a chance, important he doesnt let the occasion get to him though

Joshua's record isn't much different to Martin's though - just one has more hype than the other due to the Olympics. They've both only beaten journeymen and those outside elite level, so on paper it's a good match up.

I expect Joshua to win, but not because he's in a different league on paper, that's all.
