WHO’S NEXT FOR AJ?

-

Possible opponents for Joshua DEONTAY WILDER The controvers­ial American, unbeaten in a 40-fight career, is the opponent most fans want to see next for Joshua. If it does take place, then a win for Joshua would see him take Wilder’s WBC belt and make him undisputed heavyweigh­t king. JARRELL MILLER Unbeaten American has made it clear he wants to face Joshua, and there are few who could doubt that he deserves a world-title chance. Hearn is understood to be keen on a Joshua encounter with the Brooklyn-born heavyweigh­t. ALEXANDER POVETKIN Povetkin, a 38-year-old Russian, showed his considerab­le punching power by inflicting a fifth-round knockout on David Price on Saturday’s undercard. He is the mandatory WBO challenger and would undoubtedl­y be viewed as a dangerous opponent. TYSON FURY Joshua has made public his desire to fight fellow Briton Fury, and while the contest could easily happen, it is likely to be some way down the line given that Fury has not fought since 2015 and is still working his way back to fitness.
