Old Rival Derek Chisora Reveals Anthony Joshua’s Next Fight, Contradicting Speculation of a Showdown with Tyson Fury.

Hearn disclosed the potential date of Joshua’s battle with Fury for the world championship.

Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua’s former foe, has revealed who his next opponent would be.

The four-time world champion has bounced back to form, his most recent victory an impressive knockout of Francis Ngannou.

Right, Derek Chisora disclosed the identity of Anthony Joshua’s upcoming opponent.

Joshua had previously been contemplating Filip Hrgovic as a rival.

Daniel Dubois could jump to the front of the queue if he beats Hrgovic in June.

He has been tipped to fight the winner of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk – having lost to the Ukrainian twice previously.

But with that fight not scheduled to take place until May 18, Joshua could fight a different opponent in the mean time.

And according to fellow heavyweight Chisora, a fighter has already been lined up.

Chisora told iFL TV: “He (Joshua) will fight the winner of Daniel Dubois and (Filip) Hrgovic at Wembley.”

That pair are set to clash on June 1, with the IBF likely set to order the winner to face Joshua in a world title fight as the belt will likely be vacant by then.

Brit Dubois previously challenged for IBF world title when he fought Usyk, who also holds WBA (Super), WBO, and IBO belts.

Joshua, 34, has been heavily tipped to face Hrgovic, who is unbeaten in 17 professional bouts.

Hearn revealed he considered Hrgovic as an option before agreeing a deal to fight Ngannou.

And Joshua’s promoter remains hopeful of setting up a duel with Fury before the end of the year.

He said: “Because the Darts Championship happens in December and January, I’m gonna say that Fury vs AJ happens this year.

“So I’m gonna say Fury vs AJ [happens first].”
