Hearn Names Joshua's Most Desired Opponent

Eddie Hearn, head of Matchroom Boxing, discussed who his client Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) wants to meet in his next fight.

We saw how creatively Joseph Parker called out Joshua. He is looking for an opponent. There are rumors that Zhang doesn't want a rematch. Could this be a potential match for Anthony Joshua?

Not next. As I said, his next fight will be for a championship title or for the absolute champion title. But he wants to fight Joseph Parker. He has already beaten him, but AJ wants to fight guys who are in form.

He wants to fight Wilder. If he gets through his next match, who knows? I think the winner of the Hrgovic vs. Dubois fight will likely be AJ's next opponent, unless there's a chance to fight for the absolute champion title. But we know that Usyk and Fury have two fights," said Hearn.

Hrgovic and Dubois will meet on June 1st in Saudi Arabia. Usyk and Fury will fight on May 18th.
