Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has his sights set on a potential blockbuster fight with Tyson Fury and a rematch with IBF champion Daniel Dubois when he returns to action, according to his promoter Eddie Hearn.
The British-Nigerian boxer, who suffered a knockout defeat to Dubois at Wembley Stadium last year, is reportedly eager to get back into the heavyweight title picture after watching Saturday’s fights in Saudi Arabia featuring Agit Kabayel’s win over Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker’s victory against late replacement Martin Bakole.
Hearn also revealed Joshua’s interest in facing Fury, despite ‘The Gypsy King’ announcing his retirement in January following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports Boxing analyst Johnny Nelson has suggested Joshua could potentially face Joseph Parker in a rematch of their 2018 bout, which Joshua won by unanimous decision.
Dubois was originally scheduled to defend his IBF title against Parker on Saturday but withdrew due to illness. The IBF champion is now expected to target a unification bout with WBC, WBA and WBO champion Usyk.
