Lee Selby: IBF featherweight world title tilt next for Welshman
The two boxers grin as they touch gloves, an acknowledgement of their shared journey.
One small in stature, the other a giant, the pair have much in common - the shared weight of pressure and expectation, the shared joy of success, the shared expectation of what their futures hold.
The man in the golden gloves, the featherweight, is dripping with sweat. There is a single mark under one eye. The only signs of the past 26 or so minutes of activity.
His job for the evening is done.
The heavyweight's work is yet to begin as he pumps his red and black gloves onto the gold ones. No words are spoken.
Underneath the hooded gown, stretched over his huge physique, the big man is instantly recognisable as Olympic champion Anthony Joshua, the next big thing in boxing.

The scheduled 12-round clash, which will mark Selby’s second title defense, will precede the heavyweight title showdown between American champion Charles Martin and British challenger Anthony Joshua (Showtime, 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT).
“This bloke is one big-mouthed boxer who talks a very good game,” Selby says of Hunter, a lifelong resident of Philadelphia. “But I’ve heard it all before about how a fighter is going to do this and do that, and then when it comes down to the actual fight they don’t deliver.
“I’m in the delivery business, and that means winning. I am only here to win. I’ve got a world title belt around my waist, and that is not going to change. Eric Hunter isn’t going to rob me of something I have wo
