Anthony Joshua TKO2 Matt Skelton (July 12, 2014)
Skelton was hardly Joshua’s toughest opponent, but as the former Olympian moved up from the amateurs he had to acclimatize to his new professional surroundings, and ideally maintain his unbeaten streak for as long as possible. In the summer of 2014, he was set up with a fight against Skelton, who challenged once for the WBA heavyweight title, back in 2008. A former MMA fighter and kickboxer, Skelton had held the British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight titles.
