Joshua to make first defense against American Breazeale (Reuters)

Anthony Joshua’s first defense of his IBF world heavyweight title will be against unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale on June 25 at London’s O2 Arena, the Briton’s camp said on Monday. Olympic champion Joshua won the title in only his 16th professional fight this month when he stopped American Charles Martin in the second round of their fight also at the O2. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to fight again, especially at the O2 which I have made my fortress,” the 26-year-old Joshua said in a statement.
