Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could be on collision course.
‘The Gypsy King’ has his undisputed heavyweight title clash with Oleksandr Usyk, with a rematch between the pair very likely before he can eye other opponents but down the line a fight against former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua could be on the cards.
That is of course if Joshua comes through unscathed against Francis Ngannou.

Ricky Hatton has a close friendship with Tyson Fury but still gave an honest assessment on the WBC king and found it hard to pick a winner between the British heavyweights.
Speaking to OLBG he said: “I wouldn’t like to say. AJ has found good form in his last couple of fights with an impressive knockout two fights ago and his last performance was very solid. Tyson struggled against Ngannou, so the big question is, and I’m saying this as a friend of Tyson and a boxing fan, did Tyson take Francis too lightly or has the Wilder fights took its toll on Tyson?
He added: “The three fights Tyson and Wilder had most certainly taken its toll on Wilder. He looked nowhere near the same person against Joseph Parker, he looked a shot fighter whereas Tyson looked the same against Ngannou.
“But it’s whether he took Francis too lightly or whether the fights have taken its toll on Tyson, and we won’t know until we see him out next.”
