Meanwhile, AJ, on the other hand, is yet to enter into the ring since his rematch loss to Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk.

Famous boxing promoter Eddie Hearn once again reiterated that Anthony Joshua could take on the winner of Deontay Wilder vs Andy Ruiz Jr for the WBC strap if it is vacated.

It was gathered that the current WBC title holder Tyson Fury is already in negotiations to take on unified champion Oleksandr Usyk (WBA, WBO, IBF) for a possible unification bout next year.

Joshua desperate to face Fury

Sports Brief earlier reported that Anthony Joshua has suggested that the highly anticipated all-British bout with Tyson Fury will eventually happen 'in the near future.

AJ has been touted to take on the Gypsy King, but somehow an agreement has not been reached since they were billed to meet in 2021.

Although both parties had signed a two-fight deal in March 2021, with the first bout scheduled for Saudi Arabia on August 14, a US Court ruled that Deontay Wilder was billed for a trilogy bout with Fury, which ended the agreement.
