Anthony Joshua insists a shelved fight with Wladimir Klitschko has not dampened his motivation to defend his IBF world heavyweight title against Eric Molina.The 2012 Olympic gold medallist makes a second defence of his IBF strap against stand-in opponent Molina at the Manchester Arena on Dec. 10, after a fight against Klitschko fell through.After the Klitschko fight was put back until at least spring 2017, Joshua was linked to a clash with fellow Briton David Price. While that bout may have been more popular in the UK, Joshua said he was not being distracted by future fights or that he underestimated his American opponent.Nothing has changed, I always knew I would have someone who is game and everyone is going to up their levels by 50 or 60 percent when there is a championship belt on the table, Joshua said.I have to put Wladimir Klitschko or David Price or whoever is in pecking order to the back of mind. If I was sparring for Klitschko or Molina you have the same ambition, and thats to win.Former world heavyweight No.1 Klitschko, who was champion for over nine years until losing on points to Briton Tyson Fury nearly a year ago, lies in wait for Joshua so long as he beats Molina. Joshua-Klitschko is being lined up for March or April and possibly at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.Joshua was due to face Klitschko until the Ukrainian suffered a slight calf injury in training and it was also decided there was not enough time to promote the fight.Joshua, though, is not the first world champion Molina has faced. The 34-year-old was knocked out in the ninth round when he challenged fellow American Deontay Wilder for the WBC strap last year.It took massive courage to step in that ring with Deontay Wilder who is known as a one-punch knockout artists and he stood up to a lot of his punches so that shows what he is made of, Joshua said.You can expect the usual: combinations and a good night of boxing. This a gladiatorial sport, we put our lives on the line.Molina has registered two stoppage wins since losing to Wilder, including a 10th round knockout of former world cruiserweight and light-heavyweight champion Tomasz Adamek in April. The Texan insists he deserves his shot at Joshuas world title as he aims to become the first professional opponent to avoid getting knocked out by the Londoner.Hes going to have the toughest fight of his career -- thats a guarantee, Molina said.This is the heavyweight division and what makes it so exciting is that any one punch can change the fight and I bring that to the table. If you slip up you end up on your back and hes a clever guy and I think he appreciates that.The experience that Ive got, I just dont see him running over me. In this game when you lose, everyone leaves your side, but Ive had to do it the hard way and Ive earned my ticket here.We had a lot of momentum heading in to the Adamek fight and Im thankful for this opportunity and Im ready to go.

Their five inclusions all played well despite the speculation.The only sour note from the win was the broken collarbone suffered by Lin Jong that has ruled him out of the 2016 finals series. With a move to the Magpies on the cards for next year, Jong may have played his last match in the red, white and blue.Key head-to-head: Caleb Daniel vs. Sam MitchellThere may be 275 games of experiencing separating the Hawks veteran from the Bulldogs youngster, but expect a ferocious and evenly matched contest on Friday night.Mitchell was targeted by the Cats in last weeks qualifying final so you can expect plenty of Daniels teammates to be applying a similar sort of treatment.Daniel has been in scintillating form and may just be one of the leagues best short kicks.

To make things even more difficult, the Swans will be without Kurt Tippett (hairline jaw fracture) and Callum Mills (hamstring) for their clash with the Crows.Adelaide enter the match in far greater touch. The Crows booted 21 goals in a demolition of North Melbourne and will fancy themselves against the stalling Swans. Eddie Betts and Rory Sloane were named among the top six players this season as voted by the players themselves, and will both play a decisive role.Key head-to-head: Daniel Talia vs. Lance FranklinIs there a bigger assignment in football than containing Buddy in a final?While bright early on against the Giants, Franklin faded and failed to kick a goal in a final for the first time in his career. The forward will be eager to respond at the SCG, which makes Talias job all the more difficult.Also worth a mention is the Nick Smith vs. Eddie Betts match-up. The small forward is in career best form and fresh from a six-goal haul against the Kangaroos. This match may well be decided by which defender can curtail their opponent the better.Swans: B Nick Smith, Heath Grundy, Dane Rampe HB Harrison Marsh, Aliir Aliir, Jarrad McVeigh C Isaac Heeney, Josh P.

They have played 21 finals since then.UBET verdict:?Adelaide confined North Melbourne to the scrap heap last week and the early money trail suggests the Crows can do another number on the Swans. Adelaides the only team in commission at this stage and first goal scorer punters are lining up to back Eddie Betts.Weather:?Mostly sunny with a top of 21. No rain expected.Prediction: The Crows enter this match off the back of a strong win and will cause the Swans all sorts of issues if their forward line is functioning.
