Liam Gallagher’s hilarious response when asked about his performance
The IBF has confirmed to that it has not received a request to sanction Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois as an IBF world heavyweight title fight; Former WBO champion Joseph Parker believes he deserves an AJ rematch after his wins over Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder
Anthony Joshua has revealed that he is close to confirming the opponent for his upcoming bout.
Joshua, who has boxed once so far in 2024 when he knocked out former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, said: “Nearly finished my negotiations for my next fight. Feeling motivated.”
It has been widely speculated that fellow Briton Daniel Dubois could be in the frame to fight Joshua.
Dubois stopped Filip Hrgovic at the start of this month to win an interim title from the IBF.
But the IBF confirmed to Sky Sports that it has not received a request to sanction Joshua vs Dubois as an IBF world heavyweight title fight.
After beating Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk holds all four of the major heavyweight world championships, including the IBF.
There are other contenders also vying to take on Anthony Joshua. Zhilei Zhang, who defeated Deontay Wilder on the same bill as Dubois’ victory over Hrgovic, would relish boxing AJ. He lost to the Watford man at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
