“There are many options, but I’m next in line. Whoever my opponent becomes, I know that I will fight for the belt. I just want a title shot. I don't care who I fight.
If we talk about my preferences, then I would like to meet Anthony Joshua. This is one of the biggest names in the sport, but I know that I can beat him,” Boxing News 24 quotes the Croatian as saying.
The IBF title currently belongs to Oleksandr Usik, who will fight a unification fight with Tyson Fury on February 17. The Ukrainian and the Briton have signed a contract for two fights next year, which means that the winner of their first meeting will not be able to defend the title against a mandatory opponent. Everything indicates that the IBF belt will become vacant, and two boxers with the highest ratings will challenge it.
