Joshua predicts Takam knockout

By Daily Sports on October 19, 2017

Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) is predicting a knockout win over his substituted opponent #3 IBF Carlos Takam (35-3-1, 27 KOs) in their October 28 fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Joshua says he’ll knockout Takam anywhere from round 10 to 12. Joshua says he might have to target Takam’s body with his shots, as he can take punches to the head really well.

He compares Takam’s head to a block of cement with the way he can absorb punches without getting hurt.

“People are asking me what round and I say 10-12 because this guy’s head is like a block of cement,” said Joshua to the sun.co.uk in predicting a knockout of Takam.

”He likes to plant his feet and trade. I have had sparring partners coming in to try to knock me out and I have had to hit them with a body shot, so that will help.”

Takam was selected by the International Boxing Federation to replace Joshua’s previously scheduled opponent Kubrat Pulev, who suffered a shoulder injury a little over a week ago while training for the Joshua fight on October 28.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn had previously set it up with the IBF to have the 36-year-old Takam on standby in case of Pulev suffering an injury.
