Anthony Joshua has made a significant intimation that he may face Tyson Fury in September.
When AJ was asked by the BBC when he may return to the ring, he was supporting runners at the London Marathon.
Anthony Joshua stated that he might return to the ring in September.
AJ said he will ‘definitely’ get another shot at a world title.

He is waiting for the winner of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua acknowledged that he is standing by to take on the victor of Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk.
On May 18, the undisputed heavyweight title match will take place.
Furthermore, the world champion and AJ may be matched for a possibly £200 million megafight.
“Boxing is changing a lot, there is a new player who is taking the world by storm, Turki Alalshikh,” stated Joshua.
“He is doing what he wants for the fans, it’s amazing.
So if the fans demand it, I know that he will deliver. I know the fans want me and Fury, I want that.
“I’m not going to give away plans, but he is a man of action.
“It’s coming, most definitely it’s coming.”
Asked if that is going to be his next fight, Joshua replied: “To be honest, he said be ready for September.
“Why he said that is because they have got a fight on June 1, all the heavyweights, five vs five, Eddie Hearn vs Frank Warren.
“And they have got Fury vs Usyk in May. And then they will have me in September. It’s unbelievable.”
Joshua’s latest update on the potential bout comes just days after meeting up with Saudi promoter Alalshikh.
Again teasing the blockbuster bout, they posed for a photo which was shared on X alongside the caption: “We are waiting for the result of Usyk vs Fury.”
Supporters have long been desperate for the two British heavyweights to go head-to-head – but AJ’s defeats to Usyk in 2021 and 2022 halted the chance of it happening.
However, talks appear to be alive again with the 34-year-old now on the comeback trail.
He has won his last four fights, including a demolition of Francis Ngannou back in March.
The UFC star-turned-boxer knocked Fury to the canvas in a narrow defeat just four months earlier.
SunSport understands Alalshikh and events group Sela – who sponsors Newcastle – could branch out to the UK and potentially host Fury vs Joshua at Wembley.
