Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has announced that Anthony Joshua will face the winner of the upcoming Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch for the undisputed heavyweight title.
This comes after Joshua’s impressive second-round knockout win over Francis Ngannou in March.
Joshua is set to fight Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September, and if he emerges victorious, he will be in line to face either Fury or Usyk in a potential title unification bout.
Hearn confirmed to The Sun that Joshua’s ultimate goal is to become the undisputed heavyweight champion, and he believes they are just two fights away from achieving that dream.
Usyk currently holds the WBA (Super), WBO, IBF, and IBO titles after defeating Fury via split decision last month, becoming the first boxer since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to unify the heavyweight division. The rematch between Fury and Usyk is scheduled for December, with Joshua waiting in the wings for the winner.
