British heavyweight Anthony Joshua has admitted that he must be fully focused on trying to defeat Michael Sprott when they fight in Liverpool on Saturday night.
Joshua has been linked with bouts against Tyson Fury, Eddie Chambers and David Price, but ahead of his 10th professional contest, the Olympic gold medallist has revealed that he is concentrating on ending 2014 on a high.
The 25-year-old told reporters: "Overlooking fighters at heavyweight is very dangerous. He's mixed at a good level but I am feeling relaxed ahead of this one.
"I am just concentrating on my fights and Fury, Chambers and Price should do the same and win some belts so I can take them off them."
Joshua has won his opening nine fights as a professional by knockout, while Sprott has won 42 of his 64 matches in the paid ranks.
