Promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Anthony Joshua is on track to challenge for the undisputed heavyweight championship by facing the winner of the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch.

In an interview with The Sun, Hearn stated, “I expect the winner of the December fight to fight Anthony Joshua if he wins in September. There’s no decision yet made on the opponent, there are three or four in the mix.

But yeah, that’s the absolute plan.” Joshua's next bout is anticipated to be against Daniel Dubois in September at Wembley Stadium. Dubois recently secured the IBF ‘interim’ belt by defeating Filip Hrgovic. “The priority is to regain the world heavyweight title and obviously undisputed always been the dream. So, I think we’re two fights away from becoming undisputed. But we’ve got to win them,” Hearn added.

In their initial encounter last month, Usyk clinched victory over Fury via split decision, becoming the first boxer since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to unify the heavyweight division. Usyk's triumph led him to claim the WBC title from Fury, in addition to his WBA (Super), WBO, IBF, and IBO belts. Promoter Frank Warren confirmed ongoing discussions for a potential Joshua-Dubois clash, stating, “Daniel Dubois proved all his doubters wrong and won the IBF ‘interim’ belt. He hopefully will be fighting AJ in the autumn; we’re working on that. He did well.

We would love it to be in the UK, they’re two Brits, and it would be a great fight to put on at Wembley.” Should Joshua emerge victorious against Dubois, he will be in contention to face either Fury or Usyk in pursuit of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion, regardless of the outcome of the Fury-Usyk rematch.Top of Form
