Joshua Names Seven Fighters He Wants To Face Before Retirement
The heavyweight world champion is due to defend his three belts against Kubrat Pulev this summer. Joshua Names Seven Fighters He Wants To Face Before Retirement
Originally slated for June 20, the clash has been delayed due to the coronavirus crisis which has ground sport to a halt.
But assuming he retains his titles, Joshua will then set his sights on a plethora of rivals.
When asked who he could face, he told Sky Sports: “[Oleksandr] Usyk, [Deontay] Wilder, [Tyson] Fury, [Luis] Ortiz.
“Who else? I think that’s probably the majority. Adam Kownacki, Jarrell Miller… you know, that’s six names.”
Joshua went on to add Dillian Whyte to the mix having beaten his domestic foe in 2015.
“I know he’s been chasing a world title shot. I offered him a world title shot last year in April, he refused it.
“Maybe he wants his hand on the WBC, but if me and Tyson Fury fight, then I know he didn’t want to fight me last year, but he’ll definitely have to fight me this time if he wants his hands on the WBC belt.
“Once I’ve beaten Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte can come and get this work as well. It won’t be that good, it will be one-sided.”
Joshua and Fury had hoped to clash at the end of the year but the pandemic looks to have put paid to that prospect.
Fury must first defend his own world title against Wilder in their trilogy clash penciled in for October 3.
That would push back a potential undisputed fight until February.
