Eddie Hearn admitted in an interview with MMAFighting that he would lean towards a scenario in which Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) will have another fight in July against an easier opponent before the coveted fight with Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).
The head of Matchroom Boxing listed three potential rivals for AJ: Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs), Otto Wallin (25-1, 14 KOs) and Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs).
Anthony Joshua returned to the ring last Saturday after losing twice to Oleksandr Usyk by defeating Jermain Franklin via unanimous decision.
