Showtime Boxing preview: Why you should be paying attention to Anthony Joshua

Mookie Alexander previews tonight's Showtime Championship Boxing main event between IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) and Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs), a bout which marks Joshua's first on his new contract with Showtime.

Tyson Fury may be the world's top heavyweight courtesy of his win over Wladimir Klitschko, but the excitement in boxing's heavyweight division is centered around another Briton in Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs). The 2012 London Olympics gold medalist is set to defend his IBF title* against Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) on Showtime, from a sold-out O2 Arena in London, England.
