Matt Skelton says Anthony Joshua is making same mistakes as Audley Harrison

[Mofo2]

Matt Skelton believes heavyweight Anthony Joshua is following a similar path to Audley Harrison and plans to inflict his first defeat this weekend. The Bedford man, a former world title challenger, will battle Joshua on this Saturday's bumper Liverpool bill at the Echo Arena, live on Sky Sports.  

 

Joshua, like Harrison an Olympic gold medallist, has made a promising start to his career, racking up six wins inside the distance. But Skelton has questioned the quality of his opponents and feels he is making the same mistakes as Harrison, who was defeated by British rival Danny Williams when he stepped up his competition.

 

“Anthony Joshua has all the natural attributes of a good heavyweight - he's in brilliant shape, but we saw with Audley Harrison in his early days, he went through 18 fights unbeaten against hand-picked opponents and then he came unstuck,†said Skelton.
