The game has changed for Anthony Joshua.

Joshua was scheduled to defend his WBA and IBF titles against Bulgarian heavyweight Kubrat Pulev in Cardiff on October 28th but a shoulder injury to Pulev has ruled him out of the fight – meaning AJ was a new challenger in his way.

French fighter Carlos Takam will now face Anthony Joshua at the end of the month, having been ranked at #3 in the world by the IBF.

36-year-old fighter Takam has 35 wins from 39 fights, with 27 of them coming by way of knockout. At 6 feet 1 inches, he stands 5 inches shorted than AJ, which could prove decisive on fight night.
