Anthony Joshua's next opponent?

Following the confirmation of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua is presently waiting for information regarding his next opponent.

Although Deontay Wilder had been mentioned, AJ had preferred to fight the victor of Fury vs. Usyk.

It seems likely that Joshua would choose to fight Wilder in this much-anticipated mega-money matchup over the unknown Filip Hrgovic for the IBF heavyweight belt.

Joshua vs. Hrgovic, however, might soon gain favor if AJ vs. Wilder does not take place.

Joshua, who recently modeled for BOSS at Milan Fashion Week, is expected to make a decision on his future soon.
