Anthony Joshua’s opponent in first IBF Heavyweight title defence confirmed

We already knew that Anthony Joshua was due to return to the ring on June 25 at The O2, and now we know who he'll face.

It was confirmed on Monday morning that Joshua will face another American, the unbeaten Dominic Breazeale.

The 30-year-old Californian has won all 17 of his professional fights, and also competed at the 2012 Olympics in London. Joshua dismissed Charles Martin within two rounds of his last outing, knocking out Charles Martin to win the IBF belt on April 9.
