Dmitry Salita, promoter, was the first to come up with an offer Otto Wallina (23-1, 14 KOs). Frank Warren then made an offer to AJ to fight Joe Joyce (13-0, 12 KOs).
“I met with almost all of today's heavyweights. As an amateur, I fought Wallin twice. I knocked out Joyce. Today the situation will not change, I will do the same,” said AJ.
The former two-time world heavyweight champion fought Wallin in 2010 and 2011, and in 2011 he dealt with Joyce in less than three minutes. Joshua was supposed to have a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), but it is possible that due to the military aggression of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, he will have to hold an intermediate fight.
“Joshua and I will have a great fight. I'm still not defeated, I'm ranked high, so let's go!" - expressed his opinion "Juggernaut".
