After delivering unforgettable boxing events, Turki Alalshikh is set to present another historic matchup this weekend, featuring Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois for the IBF Heavyweight Title at Wembley Stadium. With the hype being real for this high-profile fight, Joshua shared the future he envisions ahead of this fight. He stated his willingness to face anyone necessary to get a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk or a showdown against the legendary Tyson Fury.
There is no doubt that Joshua has long been seen as the face of boxing, with some fans even considering him bigger than Fury right now. As he is in his prime, each fight elevates his status even more. For Joshua, facing a strong opponent is the key to cement his place as the biggest name in the sport. With Fury and Usyk reigning at the top, Joshua was asked if he would take any of them next. He responded by saying he is waiting to see the outcome of their rematch and is ready to fight either of them.
He stated, “If they call me to fight them, 100 percent. It’s what I do. Fight. I’ll be ready. It’ll be an honor to fight them two. I’m not focusing on Usyk and Fury. I’ll watch it. Let me get past Dubois. We’ll see.”
With Usyk, Joshua seeks redemption for his previous two losses, and a rematch would definitely be intriguing. Although he hasn’t faced Fury yet, Gypsy King’s recent dip in performance boosts Joshua’s chances of securing a win. For now, Joshua focuses on his upcoming bout against Dubois, set for September 21.
