Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KO) will fight Francis Ngannou (0-1) in March, and his promoter Eddie Hearn is already planning his next steps. Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) has already defeated the Cameroonian, and when AJ repeats his success, the demand for a fight between the two Britons will grow even more. At least that’s what the head of Matchroom Boxing thinks.

“AJ will become the undisputed heavyweight champion, I believe in that. I said he would beat Wallin, he would beat Wilder and Fury. What we really need to focus on now is beating Ngannou. If AJ does it convincingly like he did against Wallin, it will only increase the demand for Anthony's fight with Fury. If Joshua has victories over two fighters that Fury had problems with, it will make people believe that AJ can beat Fury,” said the 44-year-old businessman.
