Anthony Joshua could face Deontay Wilder next if Tyson Fury stays retired. Turki Alalshikh has now set his sights on the match.

Anthony Joshua was brutally knocked out by Daniel Dubois in September, while Tyson Fury recently announced his retirement from boxing after losing to Oleksandr Usyk

What the Brit’s team really want, however, is the Tyson Fury fight, the man who holds two victories over Wilder and shares two losses with Oleksandr Usyk in common with ‘AJ.’ There has been a spanner thrown in the works in the form of Fury’s recent retirement announcement, though many believe he will u-turn on that in the coming months.

For a former champion who made the most of one big punch, the Bronze Bomber is in desperate need of a miracle with his career and legacy in tatters.

The British star is hoping to get back to winning ways after enduring a crushing defeat in his last fight against Daniel Dubois back in September

Anthony Joshua could be set for a long-awaited fight this year, even if it is not against Tyson Fury. On Monday (13 January), Fury announced his retirement from boxing, having gone back on that decision several times in the past.

Turki Alalshikh says now that Tyson Fury has retired he would like to see Anthony Joshua fight Deontay Wilder.

Former WBO World Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker has faced off against some of the division's biggest stars, including Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, yet, he has admitted that neither of them hit as hard as one particular fighter that he shared the ring with.

Hearn previously disclosed that he reserved dates with Wembley Stadium for May or June to stage the bout, but the window for such a large-scale promotion is closing.
