December 17 in London at Wembley Arena Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) will hold his next professional fight, as announced by his promoter Eddie Hearn. The opponent of the former two-time world heavyweight champion is not yet known.

For the Briton, this will be the first performance after two defeats in a row from Oleksandr Usyk. It will also be Joshua's first appearance in over six years without a world heavyweight title on the line.

The evening of boxing promises to show the DAZN streaming service. Among the potential rivals of the Briton in recent weeks, Zhilei Zhang, Demsi McKean and Otto Wallin have been named.
