The promoter of the former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua - Eddie Hearn, shared his thoughts on who his protege may face in the ring in the near future.
A representative of the British boxer listed a number of fighters, noting that in the next fight, which is scheduled for March 2023, the opponent of his client could be the winner of the fight between Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin.
"Joshua is still focused, still hungry. We talked about the fights. Andy Ruiz is here. Deontay Wilder is definitely an opponent for him. People are talking about Otto Wallin. There are a lot of good fights for Anthony. To be honest, he's really not interested in a shit fight. And it's not that he doesn't want an easy fight, he doesn't think any of the fights are going to be easy.
The Dillian Whyte vs. Jermaine Franklin fight is coming up. The winner of this fight is likely to be the main contender to face Joshua in March, but anything can happen.
Otto Wallin is a dangerous opponent. You saw it with Tyson Fury. Perhaps the fight with him will be easier than with someone else. We have Hrhovich, Zhang Zhilei, all these fighters. They are dangerous, these are dangerous fights. I think AJ is looking at them and thinking, "It's more dangerous when the fight is perceived as easy. I'd rather fight Wilder or Whyte or someone else," Girna was quoted as saying by Boxing News 24.
