Boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn, has stated that Anthony Joshua could be a fight away from battling for the undisputed champion seat in the sport.
Hearn said it had always been the dream of Joshua to be undisputed champion and some bold predictions concerning coming fights.
Joshua will fight ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia soon while WBC belt holder Tyson Fury will fight unified champion Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh in May.
Hearn said: “The dream for Joshua has always been to be undisputed.
“If AJ beats Ngannou and Fury beats Usyk, the whole world will be calling for Fury v Joshua.
“It’s probably one of the biggest fights in the history of the sport. Certainly the biggest fight in boxing now.”
If Joshua beats Ngannou, he will be challenging for the vacant title against Croatia’s number-one ranked IBF fighter Filip Hrgovic.
Recall that Joshua defeated Otto Wallin in December, 2023.
