The countdown to Anthony Joshua's latest world title defence against Carlos Takam is on with Joshua being the strong favourite.

Joshua will defend his WBA 'super' and IBF world heavyweight titles when he meets Takam in front of 80,000 fans at Wales' national stadium this weekend.

Anthony Joshua has proved he boasts the heart of a champion and can overcome the challenge of Carlos Takam.

Joshua expects to be taken in "10 to 12 rounds" by Carlos Takam in Cardiff at the weekend.

Boxing experts wonder if Carlos Takam's late call‑up as mandatory challenger will unsettle Anthony Joshua.

Joshua was originally due to fight Kubrat Pulev, but the Bulgarian pulled out with a shoulder injury.

Takam stepped in with 12 days to go, but the French‑based challenger and his promoter were in confident mood in their camp in Paris.

The two boxers confirmed the fight on September 5, with the bout to take place in Cardiff at around 9am this Sunday.
