Anthony Joshua informs his promoter Eddie Hearn of who he wants to fight next following his big win over Klitschko.
Anthony Joshua is a man in demand at the moment following his monumental win over Wladimir Klitschko that sold a staggering 90,000 tickets at Wembley stadium.
Everyone wants a piece of the heavyweight champion now and the likes of Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Joseph Parker, a Klitschko rematch and many others have already been mentioned as possibilities.
It could be argued that Joshua following the win over Klitschko is now most likely the biggest star in world boxing. If he’s not, he could just be a close second to Canelo Alvarez in terms of star power.
Although the pay per view records he shattered in the UK for the Klitschko fight suggest that Joshua is already a bigger star than Canelo.
Certainly on a worldwide basis – as Joshua’s fights also drew big numbers in the US and in Germany.
Despite all the offers out there at the moment and possibilities of unification world title fights, Joshua wants one rematch more than any other.
Speaking to The Times, Joshua said he has told his promoter Eddie Hearn that he would like to fight old foe Dillian Whyte next up.
Joshua fought Whyte in December of 2015 and knocked him out cold via a brutal uppercut.
However the feelings between the two have seemed to continue on since the fight and Joshua, who lost to Whyte in the amateurs – clearly wants to make it 2-1 overall between amateur and pro
naw I like josh but I cant get jiggy with this shyt

Deontay Wilder: I'll fight Tyson Fury in England
Feb 5, 2016
Deontay Wilder has told Tyson Fury he is prepared to fight him in England and unify their heavyweight belts if the Briton wins his rematch bout with Wladimir Klitschko.
- PA Sport
Undefeated WBC champion Wilder was confronted in the ring by Fury after taking his record to 36-0 with victory over Artur Szpilka in Brooklyn last month.
Fury has to meet Klitschko again after the Ukrainian invoked his rematch clause having lost his WBA, IBF and WBO belts in November, but Wilder has his sights set on facing whoever emerges victorious from that contest after his mandatory clash with Alexander Povetkin, possibly in April.
And the 30-year-old would be willing to venture on to Fury's own patch to make it happen.
"When he got in the ring I told him I'll come to his backyard and I mean that," he said in an appearance at Super Bowl 50's Radio Row in San Francisco.
"I'm willing to come over there. If he wins, I'm willing to come over there to take the titles. I'm very comfortable with England -- I've got a lot of friends, a ton of fans.
"I feel that when they say heavyweight champion of the world -- that's a world traveller, not just in your home country. When my legacy's over and done, I want to be labelled as someone who went behind enemy lines, fought everybody and had great exciting fights every time I came back."

Wilder insists he was unperturbed by Fury's antics last month and believes it could help hype up the heavyweight ranks once again.
"A lot of people didn't like -- a lot of media have been asking me, 'Was it disrespectful that he did it?'," he added.
"I'm laid back, I'm easy going, I'm all about unifying the heavyweight division, bringing the excitement back. It wasn't disrespectful to me, I knew what he was doing. It was entertaining for boxing and excitement for the fans, but I do find it was disrespectful for my opponent."
Wilder has recorded a knock-out win in 35 of his 36 bouts and has his sights set on taking the IBF title off Charles Martin if Fury and Klitschko continues to dither over a date.
However, the ultimate goal remains a unification of the belts, which he believes will help restore the heavyweight division's prestige.
"I'm looking to do remarkable things in boxing, looking to bring it back like it once was, even better," Wilder said.
"I think I can do it, I can see it happening, feel it happening as I've described it. I will make it happen, I will be remembered as the man who brought boxing back single handedly."
