So, what next for Anthony Joshua?

That’s the question on everybody’s lips – and firmly in his mind – after his ferocious second-round knockout of Francis Ngannou on Saturday morning in Riyadh.

Three knockdowns in a matter of minutes revealed a relentless, untamed fighter, but he was in no mood for celebrating this demolition job.

‘I’m not even buzzing about the win. On to the next, go,’ he said in the wake of his victory.

In an ideal world, that ‘next’ would entail a bout with the winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, who bash gloves on May 18.

But the world isn’t ideal. Fury and Usyk are bound for a rematch, meaning Joshua will have to fill the gap.

Mail Sport takes a look at his options.

Who could Anthony Joshua’s next opponent be after his stunning win over Francis Ngannou?

Joshua obliterated Ngannou on Saturday morning in Riyadh, knocking him down three times. The third time, in the second round, was the last

His next fight won’t be against Tyson Fury, because he will fight Oleksandr Usyk and then have a rematch with him

Deontay Wilder

Wilder is a name that Joshua has long been linked with but a bout has never materialised. Yet.

Instead of Ngannou, AJ was supposed to be fighting the Bronze Bomber as his March assignment.

But Wilder’s shock defeat to Joseph Parker on the ‘Day of Reckoning’ in December stopped that idea in its tracks, at least temporarily.

The likelihood of AJ and Wilder meeting next looks slim, but not impossible. Had AJ lost to Ngannou, it would have looked more likely.

Ultimately, Joshua wants to be the undisupted heavyweight champion of the world, and a 38-year-old Wilder – who is himself some distance from holding a title – probably isn’t the quickest route there.

A bout with Deontay Wilder would appeal to British fans and has been long desired, but is he the right opponent for AJ’s goal of being an undisputed champion?

Dillian Whyte

Joshua was supposed to face Whyte last August at the O2 Arena in London.

However, the punch-fest was cancelled when Whyte returned an ‘adverse finding’ to a random doping test.

At short notice, Robert Helenius stepped up and was duly beaten by AJ. Joshua has since won two more fights, while Whyte, 35, hasn’t fought since November 2022.

Whyte has reportedly been cleared to return to the ring after a contaminated supplement was found to have been the cause of his positive drugs test, and he will be eager to prove a point.

With a record of 29-3, the Body Snatcher is a fearsome and worthy opponent but whether it would happen is unclear. The two previously fought in 2015, with Joshua winning.

Dillian Whyte would be a worthy, high-profile opponent but hasn’t fought since November 2022

Filip Hrgovic

Hrgovic is a serious contender, with 17 wins – 14 by knockout – and no defeats in his career to date.

After Joshua beat Otto Wallin in December, Eddie Hearn suggested that Joshua will likely take on Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight world title next.

Vacant, you say? Well, that’s not set in stone, but it is a likelihood.

Usyk currently holds the IBF title, as well as the WBO and IBO belts. Fury is the WBC champion.

After their contest in May and their pencilled-in rematch, if Usyk ultimately wins, he will likely retire and vacate the belt. If Fury wins, he will likely vacate the belt so that he isn’t forced to fight its mandatory challenger – Hrgovic – and so he can seek a more lucrative fight elsewhere.

The likelihood is that Hrgovic will have to scrap with somebody for the vacant IBF title, and that somebody could well be Joshua.

Filip Hrgovic looks among the more likely options. Joshua will likely have to beat him at some point to claim the IBF title if Usyk or Fury desert it after their fight in May

Joseph Parker

Parker did so well to recover from two knockdowns to beat Zhilei Zhang on Friday night, beating Big Bang by majority decision.

That makes the New Zealand puncher the interim WBO heavyweight champion – and therefore the mandatory challenger for the winner of Fury and Usyk.

Obviously, if they vacate the belt, that could bring him into contention with Joshua for it instead.

It has been dubbed a ‘high risk’ fight for Joshua – by Parker’s promoter, no less – and he may well steer clear of the 32-year-old, who is on a five-fight winning streak.

Would Parker be up for it? Absolutely. ‘I’ll 100 percent fight Tyson Fury,’ he said after his dominant points win over Wilder in December.

Joseph Parker has bolstered his reputation after wins over Wilder and Zhilei Zhang

The outsiders

Joe Joyce

Joe Joyce, 38, is probably only on this list because he is British. The Juggernaut has not been doing what juggernauts do recently, taking two defeats to Zhang in 2023.

That gives him a record of 15-2, and realistically he probably isn’t in the position to propel Joshua onto greater things. Beating Joyce would not be a statement in the same way it would be of Wilder, even if he has declined.

Two defeats to Zhilei Zhang in 2023 have seen Joyce’s status drop but British fans might like the idea of him fighting AJ

Daniel Dubois is on the up at the age of 26 and beat Jarrell Miller in December last year

Daniel Dubois

Dubois was considered good enough to fight Usyk as of last August, though he lost. He has since beaten Jarrell Miller with a dramatic late stoppage in December.

Frank Warren previously suggested that AJ vs Dubois would be more appealing to British fans than a clash with Wilder. At 26, Dubois’ trajectory is on the up and it would be a stern test of his credentials.

Within weeks of decimating Francis Ngannou, Anthony Joshua has hinted at a bout announcement.

Earlier this month, the Watford fighter easily defeated the former UFC heavyweight champion, knocking him out cold in the second round of their match in Saudi Arabia.

Anthony Joshua brutally knocked out Francis Ngannou earlier this month.

Boxing fans are eagerly awaiting Anthony Joshua’s next move.

On Instagram, AJ hinted to an upcoming bout announcement.

The 34-year-old AJ is now in a great position to challenge the victor of May’s historic undisputed heavyweight title match between Alexander Usyk and Tyson Fury.

However, the gold medallist from London 2012 has made hints that he would return to the ring soon.

On Friday night, AJ posted a photo of himself on the phone to his Instagram story with a caption suggesting he may have received a “call” about his next fight.

It read: “Incoming call from @258management. AJ: ‘How can I help?’ @258mgt: ‘They want you to fight.’

“AJ: ‘I will get ready.’”

Joshua’s cryptic post spread like wildfire on social media, with some boxing fans fearing it meant bad news for the previously postponed Fury vs Usyk.

One asked on X: “Fury or Usyk is dropping out of the fight?”

Another said: “Which ones pulled out? Fury or Usyk? I’ll go the latter this time?”

AJ’s cryptic post sparked fears for Tyson Fury’s undisputed straightener with Oleksandr Usyk.

And another said: “Fury out again? Usyk AJ 3?”

Most fight fans, however, were convinced AJ is teasing a rematch with the resurgent Joseph Parker, who has won his last five on the bounce.

One said: “It means he’s fighting Joseph Parker in July.”

Another said: “Means Parker 2 man I’ve tried to deny it but that’s probably what’s happening.”

And another said: “Joe Parker if [Deontay] Wilders taking on [Zhilei] Zhang.”

Former two-time heavyweight king AJ faces a long wait to face the winner of Fury vs Usyk as the pair have a rematch clause in their lucrative contract.

He could find himself fighting for the IBF heavyweight title later this year as the sanctioning body is set to strip the winner of Fury vs Usyk of the belt.

That stripping will take place in order for their long-time mandatory challenger – Filip Hrgovic – to vie for the strap.

Tyson Fury has described the controversial upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson as ‘fantastic for boxing’ – despite a number of his peers criticising the surprising match-up.

The fight – which will take place on July 20 and be broadcast on streaming service Netflix – will see the 27-year-old YouTuber turned fighter go up against an opponent 30 years his senior, who has not fought since his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.

Paul’s promoters are claimed to be pushing for the fight itself to be made a professional contest, despite the fact that Tyson has not been seen in a professional ring since 2005.

By contrast, Paul has compiled a record of nine wins and one defeat over the last four years, with six of his victories ending in a knockout to highlight his punching power, despite his lack of experience.

While some are excited to see the return of Iron Mike to the ring, many have raised eyebrows about the unlikely pairing.

The contest will take place at the A&T Arena in Arlington, Texas and stream live on Netflix

But Fury was more energised about the prospect, as he stressed that it wasn’t his place to judge whether the fight should go ahead or not.

‘I think it’s fantastic for boxing,’ Fury said on The Stomping Ground. ‘You’ve got a legend in Mike Tyson, you’ve got a YouTube boxer who’s come into the game and blew it up and has got millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes – good, bad or indifferent.

‘Some people love (Paul), some people hate him.

‘So, I think it’s a really good spectacle for boxing, brings a lot of people to the game. Listen, who am I to say Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing, or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing?

‘Good luck to them, they’re both gonna make what I call “a s***-ton of money” out of it, so isn’t that what it’s about?’

The heavyweight champion also had high praise for the stadium the pair will meet in, the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

‘I’ve been to that stadium, when Billy Joe (Saunders) fought Canelo (Saul Alvarez),’ Fury continued. ‘It’s a great stadium, it’ll be fantastic for the guys.

‘Both are getting paid, both are gonna put on a show. I just don’t know what’s not to like.

‘Okay, (one) guy is 57 years old, but he’s a former undisputed world heavyweight king.

‘(Paul has gone) from being a kid on the Disney channel to fighting Mike Tyson, who wouldn’t want to do that? You’ve got to admire them both.’

Tyson has not fought a professional bout since 2005 and hasn’t stepped in the ring since 2020

By contrast the YouTuber has won nine times and been defeated once over the past four years

Fury – who is due to contest his own big-money match-up when he meets Oleksandr Usyk in their delayed undisputed heavyweight champion clash on May 8 – suggested that the contest itself will be’pretty even’.

But the Gypsy King also hinted at the real reason both Paul and Tyson might have agreed to face off against one another in July.

‘People say, “Ah, it’s s***,’”and this, that and the other,’ Fury suggested. ‘But I bet they still watch it.

‘Who’s not intrigued?’

JOE ROGAN reckons Jake Paul will be “s***ting his pants” after what Mike Tyson said before their fight.

The heavyweight icon and the YouTuber-turned-boxer are to collide in a controversial clash on July 20 in Texas.

Jake Paul puts his record on the line against TysonTyson said he was eating RAW MEAT in training for his first professional fight in over 20 YEARS.

And UFC commentator Rogan believes the disgusting claim will strike fear into Paul without a punch even being thrown.

Rogan said on his podcast: “He goes, ‘I just eat raw meat. I’m eating raw meat’.

“He goes, ‘You’re eating raw meat?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, I’m eating raw meat’.

“He goes, ‘Because that’s what I’m going to eat when I fight. I’m going to eat him, just raw meat’.

“Jesus Christ, he’s in this f***ing mode. He’s in that God of war mode.

“Bro, he’s in savage mode. If I was Jake Paul right now, I would be s****ing my pants.”

Tyson revealed he has banned himself from 𝑠e𝑥 and smoking weed in training to help instal discipline.

But that is not the only eyebrow-raising reveal Iron Mike has made ahead of his boxing comeback.

Interviewer Damon Elliott said: “You look like 20-years-old. What the hell. What are you eating?”

Jake Paul reveals awkward reason why he can’t copy Mike Tyson’s 𝑠e𝑥 ban before fighting boxing legend

A topless Tyson, 57, responded: “Raw meat.”

Elliott replied: “Seriously, Mike? You’re eating raw meat?”

Tyson chillingly warned: “I’m going to have to eat it now because my opponent’s going to be raw meat.”

Red meats like beef and some fish can be eaten raw but it is not recommended as it harbours illness-causing bacteria.

During Tyson’s prolific heyday, he ate up to 4,000 calories a day, enjoying steak, pasta, chicken, rice and fruits.

The boxing legend used to fight at 220lb (15st 7lb) during his reign of terror at heavyweight.

Paul has weighed as light as 183.6lb (13st 1lb) but his last two bouts have been at the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb.

Although he revealed astonishing plans to hit 240lb (17st 1lb) in training before cutting down two stone to 220lb.

He said on podcast: “I’m just getting to eat as much as possible and it turns out my body carries this weigh super well.

“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster.

“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lb weight vest on for the whole entire camp.

“So my muscles are going to be so much stronger and that speed will come through.”

Tyson provided a glimpse into the current heavyweight division.

Mike Tyson dissected the current crop of best heavyweight boxers, including Anthony Joshua, in an interview with Joe Rogan, and it’s extremely intriguing.

Tyson went on the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast in April 2022 and was asked to offer his opinion on Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

He also gave his opinion on WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, as well as WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Tyson went in-depth on all four fighters, and it’s the kind of analysis you wouldn’t hear from anyone else.

Deontay Wilder

On Wilder, he said: “Having a hard punch is like having a nuclear war, but it doesn’t serve any military value if it doesn’t land on his target.”

‘The Bronze Bomber’ suffered two consecutive defeats to Fury in 2020 and 2021, despite putting up a valiant effort in both fights.

After bouncing back with a KO win over Robert Helenius, Wilder then suffered a surprise defeat to Joseph Parker in December, where a win would likely have set up a showpiece fight with Anthony Joshua.

Anthony Joshua

Talking of Joshua, Tyson summarised: “He has never lost hope, he is still learning. That’s why he’s dangerous. Because he’s still f***ing learning.

“Joshua needs to pick up the pace, he’s got so much potential. He has got to turn those jabs into something. Joshua is no walk over. He’s going to have a beautiful life after boxing, he’s beautiful.”

Joshua is a two-time WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion, having lost the belts to Andy Ruiz Jr. in June 2019 before claiming them back the following December.

He slipped to a shock loss against Usyk in September and lost a rematch against him the following summer.

Joshua has since won his last three fights, including a fifth round stoppage of Otto Wallin in December last year.

Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson focused on Usyk’s performance in his first fight against Joshua in his analysis, stating: “Usyk is very hard to hit, he has that elite amateur level movement. It was too much for Joshua.”

After Rogan claimed that the Ukrainian moves like a lightweight, Tyson went on to suggest Wilder as a potential future opponent – although that fight seems a way away currently.

Usyk returned to his homeland of Ukraine in 2022 to help fight off invading forces from Russia.

Following a year’s inactivity after his second victory over Joshua, Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois via knockout in August, and is scheduled to fight Fury in February.

Tyson Fury

Last but not least was the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’, and ‘Iron Mike’ spoke glowingly of the WBC heavyweight champion.

Tyson admitted: “It’s weird to take him seriously, because he’s so funny. He doesn’t take fighting seriously, he laughs at people, licking the blood. What’s wrong with this guy? You’ve got to be out of your mind.

“He would be a prophet in biblical times, how do you explain how good he is? They couldn’t explain that.”

Zak Brown alongside Christian Horner.

Claiming it is “very important” to serve as a “voice for the sport”, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown felt it was right to air his concerns over the Red Bull Christian Horner investigation for the good of Formula 1.

Off track matters dominated the headlines for Red Bull at the start of the F1 2024 campaign, as an internal investigation into team principal Horner was launched following allegations of inappropriate behaviour from an employee, a case which was dismissed.

Zak Brown felt it right to vocalise Christian Horner investigation ‘concerns’

Details of the case were not revealed by Red Bull, which prompted Brown to call for transparency ahead of the season start.

“McLaren holds themselves and all the men and women at McLaren to the highest standards. Obviously, diversity and equality and inclusion are extremely important to us, our partners, to everyone in Formula 1,” he said.

“Red Bull corporation, it appears, has launched an investigation and all we hope and assume is that will be handled in a very transparent way as FIA and Formula 1 has said.”

And now in an interview with The Times, Brown would explain why he felt the need to speak out on such matters, painting the picture that “we are all brand ambassadors” for Formula 1 and so he felt that was justification to express his concerns considering Red Bull “are a big part of the sport”.

“I think it is very important to be a voice for the sport on key issues,” said Brown.

“We all have a responsibility to protect our brand, the brand of Formula 1. We are all brand ambassadors. We need to hold each other to the highest standards and what F1 stands for.

“What transpired there was not good for his [Horner’s] brand and team but his brand and team are a big part of the sport, so I felt it was right to vocalise our concern that the matter was dealt with swiftly, appropriately and transparently.”

Red Bull currently lead the way in the Constructors’ Championship with their three-time World Champion Max Verstappen atop the Drivers’ standings, though McLaren and Ferrari are threatening to mount a title challenge, McLaren’s Lando Norris having claimed a first career win in Miami before finishing within a second of Imola race winner Verstappen.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc meanwhile opened his account for F1 2024 with victory in Monaco, reducing Verstappen’s lead to 31 points, while Ferrari has trimmed Red Bull’s Constructors’ standings lead to 24 points.

Max Verstappen has offered advice to Mercedes junior Andrea Kimi Antonelli as he progresses through the junior categories in the hope of a Formula 1 seat in future.

The 17-year-old is known to be one of the candidates to replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next season, though the team are looking to sign Verstappen from Red Bull if the opportunity arises, though he remains under contract with the reigning World Champions until 2028.

Max Verstappen offers ‘very talented’ Kimi Antonelli F1 advice: ‘Make mistakes’

Additional reporting by Sam Cooper

Verstappen became the youngest ever Formula 1 driver when he made his debut with Toro Rosso back in 2015, and the FIA has since introduced a minimum age drivers can be eligible to race in the top series, of 18.

Antonelli does not reach that age until August but has impressed enough in his junior career to have jumped straight from Formula 4 and into Formula 2, with Verstappen having gone into Formula 1 cars with only F3 experience as his quickest cars beforehand.

With that, he encouraged the Italian to “make mistakes” while he is still young and learn from them, as he did in his younger days – because he can see he is a “very talented” driver in the making.

“Well, hopefully nothing too intimidating, but, you know, you’re such a rookie, you know, that there’s so many things that you still have to learn,” Verstappen told media including PlanetF1.com when asked about his experience of reaching the Formula 1 paddock as a teenager, and whether he had any advice for Antonelli.

“I mean, for me personally, the biggest one was actually doing a full race distance.

“Like, in F3 at the time, you know, you did 35-minute races, so there’s a lot more involved.

“But yeah, just going through the good moments, the bad moments, how you come out of these things, difficult weekends, where it’s just not working for you or whatever. Like, there’s so much to learn.

“But on the other hand, also, don’t try to think about it too much. Just let it go.

“When you’re talented – and you can see that with Kimi, he’s very talented – I don’t think you should be too worried, you know, just… make mistakes.

“I mean, you have to make mistakes. Ideally, of course, you like to make those mistakes when you’re not fighting for championships or whatever, so I also got lucky with that, you know, starting at Toro Rosso at the time, not many people are looking at you all the time, so you can make some silly mistakes here and there.

“But it’s important to make them because even though you tell yourself all the time ‘I cannot do this or I cannot do that’, you will only adapt really if you make them and then move forward.

“Just in general, growing up as a person as well, I guess, even outside the car, knowing what you want in your private life, and then it’s just understanding the set-up of a racing car more and more over time.

“Of course cars evolve, but when you’re with one particular team, at one point you know more or less what works or not.

“Being with the same kind of race engineers and people around you that fine tune the car for you, all these kind of things, the more you spend time with them, the more it comes to you.

“But again, don’t try to think about it too much, just let it happen. When you’re that young, just focus on trying to go as fast as you can, make your mistakes, you know, have good race results and just try not to think about it too much.

“Now you can explain all of this, but at the time you don’t know that, right?

“So it’s like, just ease into it, and then you have good people around you, normally in the team, that will coach you around this.”

Lewis Hamilton is leaving Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the year.

Despite being a Formula 1 driver who races at 350 km/h, it was a surfing accident and not a racing crash that had Lewis Hamilton thinking “it’s all over”.

Lewis Hamilton has recorded several big crashes during his time in Formula 1, most notably at the 2007 European Grand Prix, 2012 Belgian Grand Prix and more recently at the 2021 Italian race.

Lewis Hamilton: That for me was like: ‘it’s over, it’s all over’

Contesting his debut season back in 2007, Hamilton was airlifted to hospital for precautionary checks when he crashed into the barrier at 280 km/h during qualifying after his right front tyre burst, leaving him as a mere passenger.

A few years later he was one of the drivers caught up in Romain Grosjean’s crash at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix, Hamilton was sent nose-first into rival drivers, pitching the nose of his McLaren into the air before coming down hard.

The more recent of his three big crashes was in Italy in 2021 as he battled Max Verstappen for the World title, the two were involved in a crash that had the Red Bull driver’s RB16B landing on Hamilton’s Halo.

And yet it was a surfing accident that had the seven-time World Champion thinking this is how it ends.

Catching waves with surfing legend Kelly Slater at the Pipeline, which is billed as the ‘one of the most complicated breaks in the world with multiple take off points all breaking over a razor-sharp reef’ by American Surf Magazine, Slater warned Hamilton he was heading towards trouble.

The Briton, though, still paddled towards the waves only for things to go horribly wrong.

“The biggest wipeout I had I was with Kelly Slater, on Pipeline,” he revealed on the Hot Ones.

“It was like 20ft waves and Kelly was like ‘there’s no way you’re coming out there. You’re crazy.’

“As I started to try to paddle in I got sucked into the ‘kill zone’ basically.

“So I got sucked in, and I turn around and see this set of four waves coming and that for me was like: ‘it’s over, it’s all over’.

Should Mercedes gamble with Antonelli?

“As I threw my board, I dove down and grabbed the reef and I could hear this wave crash behind me. My board got ripped off and snapped in half.

“I came back up, obviously gasping for air and the next one was coming so back down, grabbed the reef again as another wave comes over. So I did that three times.

“I got up, I’d nearly run out of air. I’d nearly drowned but managed to swim back from there.

“But after that I was ‘Okay, massive props to these surfers’.”

The seven-time World Champion remains an avid surfer having had his first surf lessons at the Wadi Adventure wave pool in Abu Dhabi in 2014.

He took to social media back then to say: “These waves are amazing, but the best thing is no sharks! No chance of getting my ass bit!”

REAL Housewives of New York star Rebecca Minkoff has revealed her fears for Kim Kardashian after her controversial Met Gala look.

Designer Rebecca Minkoff weighed in on Kim’s look while speaking exclusively with The U.S. Sun at the ACE Awards on May 7Credit: Getty
The reality star kept to the Garden Of Time red carpet theme with an outfit covered in silver metal lace, flowers, and floral motifs.

She topped it off with a gray cardigan around her shoulders, but it didn’t distract fans from noticing her tiny waist.

The U.S. Sun caught up with designer Rebecca Minkoff, 43, at the Annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards on Tuesday, May 7, at The Pierre Hotel in New York City.

“I was worried for her. I was worried that I didn’t know if she would be able to breathe,” Rebecca revealed when asked her thoughts on Kim’s controversial look.

“To me, that’s too much, like, when you’re disfiguring yourself. I am not for that.

“But she looked beautiful. I just [think] it’s too small for me.”

Fans took to social media to also express their concern after seeing her radical look on last Monday’s Metropolitan Museum of Art steps.

“Kim Kardashian’s internal organs are shouting for help,” one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter), while another added: “Did Kim Kardashian just show up in a torture device what the f**k is happening?”

A third added: “No but seriously how many ribs and other vital organs did Kim Kardashian have removed to achieve a waist like this.”

Meanwhile, Rebecca was more impressed by other stars’ looks.

“Well I thought Kaia Gerber looked gorgeous. It was clean, it was simple. Not always what everyone wants because obviously there was a lot of over the top,” she spilled.

“And then I thought that Adwoa with her pregnancy. I am always a big show that bump off.”

Kai wore a white strapless Prada gown with sequins while model Adwoa Aboah debuted her baby bump in a vivid red, custom H&M two-piece outfit.

WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN

Rebecca, who did not appear to attend the 2024 Met Gala, is focused on promoting Rebecca Minkoff’s new G Box bag and is gearing up for the brand’s 20th anniversary in September.

I was worried that I didn’t know if she would be able to breathe.

Rebecca Minkoff

It was recently announced by Deadline that she will be starring in RHONY Season 15, but her role – if she’s a full-time housewife has not been specified.

The outlet also said that she’s currently filming with the cast.

At the ACE Awards, Rebecca was unable to clarify her role on the show or even if she was filming with the Housewives.

Season 15 of RHONY as confirmed by Bravo includes Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield.

“I was a fan of the reboot last season. I’ve known Jenna, I know Sai, I know Erin. And so I was happy to see that they really pivoted the show to be not about getting drunk and raging at each other, that it was classier and more elevated,” Rebecca told The U.S. Sun.

“I mean I think that you can have petty drama, fine, but women should be seen supporting each other and being successful.

“And to me I like that they sort of changed it to that.”

‘NOTHING OFF LIMITS’

Rebecca welcomed her fourth child, a son named Leonardo Scout, in January 2023 with husband Gavin Bellour.

The couple is also parents to Luca, 12, Bowie, 9, and Nico, 6.

If she “were to be filming,” she said that, “nothing is off limits, for the most part,” in regard to her personal life.

When asked what she would want her fans to know about her, she said more of her personality and her hard work.

“I think I have a personality that doesn’t come through an Instagram picture and you can get a little bit of it on my podcast, but where else do you get it?” she continued.

“And so, hopefully, you see that side or you see how hardworking I am or how I support women or how if and when there’s a disagreement, I’m like, ‘Let’s figure it out.’

“And really just who I am as a person shines through. Hopefully, that’s – knock on wood – that I’m edited, if I am edited, for the good.”

No official announcements have been made for when season 15 of the RHONY reboot will premiere.
