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

Just saw a FB video on the Mayorga vs Trinidad fight.

It got me thinking....

2000s had to be the best decade for boxing since the 1970s, right?

 

[H.I.M.]

:bombzquad: #BombZquad :bombzquad:

Dudes nicking a few close rounds off Wilder...while getting sized up for the KO is "struggle"

But getting completely dominated in a round against a domestic level fighter is?????

They act like the divisions current lineal champ didn't show immense "struggle" in several fights in the lead up to the Wlad fight....this is a division filled with heavily flawed boxers.

Barrera, Marquez, Morales, Pacquiao, Gatti/Ward, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Mosley, Mayweather just to name a few.

I mean, sure, maybe some of the most entertaining fights weren't technically sound, but it was a damn good decade of action.

Brehs is there any boxer's offspring that has taken the L's Cesar Chavez Jr. has? I know Marvais Fraizer is remembered for his two humiliating losses (to 2 ATGs) but he had decent win over Bonecrusher smith and Tillis. Layla Ali had a great career. We all know about Floyd. Eubank Jr still needs to prove himself.Others have been lowkey and have not had the standout career Chavez has because he has honestly won some decent fights. The one thing I can say about most of them however is that they knew when to quit.

@ that sigh from Chavez Sr.

That says it all. It's like "what more can I do? We have Memo, Nacho, solid sparring partners, etc. I mean what the fukk?" type of disgusted look on his face.

The reality of it is Chavez Sr grew up poor. He HAD to grind his way out of that in a way that Jr can never relate to.

Jr didn't want to be great...dude was protected..got gifts in fights he should have lost before Sergio and after..was handed a paper mw belt by his godfather who was the president of said belt organization...diuretic usage..and now he's a dead draw...ive said it before and say it again..arum won in this situation

I mean what more can be said?
