Revealed: Anthony Joshua’s next opponent ahead of potential clash with winner of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk

Turki Alalshikh has revealed who Anthony Joshua‘s next two opponents in the ring could be.

Joshua last fought in March when he brutally knocked out Francis Ngannou in the second round in Saudi Arabia.

The 34-year-old last month revealed how his next fight could take place on September 20 or 21 at Wembley Stadium in London.

And Alalshikh, the Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority says Joshua will take on the winner of the bout between Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic, which takes place on June 1 having ruled out a matchup against the winner of Deontay Wilder vs Zhilei Zhang.

‘We have Joshua’s fight in September it all depends on the result of the Hrgovic fight [with Dubois],’ His Excellency said on the MMA Hour.

‘Because now we have locked Wilder to Jared Anderson in the card in Los Angeles.’

As reported by talkSPORT’s Michael Benson, providing Joshua comes out unscatched in his next fight, he will face Tyson Fury, who is set take on Oleksandr Usyk for all the belts on May 18.

There is a two-way rematch clause in the fight between Fury and Usyk, meaning the loser can trigger a second bout.

Joshua is unlikely to be granted the opportunity to fight with Usyk again having already lost twice to the Ukrainian.

Therefore, the former heavyweight champion might secretly be hoping fellow Brit Fury wins the highly anticipated showdown in Saudi Arabia this weekend.

However, Joshua does not believe that will be the case as he predicted a victory for Usyk last month.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: ‘I’ve fought Usyk so I can only speak on what I’ve experienced with him – phenomenal fighter, I would say he’s gonna do a really good job,’ he told TalkSport.

‘I’ve never fought Fury, so I can’t speak on what it’s like to face him. Only speaking on what I know, I have to say Usyk will be victorious.’

Joshua has travelled to Riyadh and is set to be ringside to watch the first undisputed heavyweight fight in 25 years.
