Frank Warren, promoter of heavyweights like Fury, Joyce and DuBois, wasn't impressed with Saturday's performance Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs), and will be glad to put his wards against him.

AJ won Jermain Franklin (21-2, 14 KOs) by unanimous decision after twelve rounds. Yesterday, promoter Eddie Hearn named three potential Joshua opponents for July. This trio mentioned the name Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs), who will first have to deal with Zhang Zhilei (24-1-1, 19 KOs) April 15.

“A potential fight with Joyce is a great opportunity for Joshua to claim his WBO interim belt, take his place in the rankings and become a mandatory contender for the WBO belt. We will gladly accept such a duel. But I'm sure Joe would have beaten Joshua and Franklin on the same night," Warren said.

mentioned above Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) should try to take championship belts away from Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).
