After reaching the lowest point of his career, Anthony Joshua has managed to bounce back. This was seen after his string of impressive knockout victories. As such, AJ is currently set to potentially become a three-time world champion if he continues to win. Furthermore, his highly anticipated fight against Deontay Wilder can also potentially happen.

Joshua and Wilder have been matched up against each other for years, especially when they were heavyweight champions. Subsequently, both of them suffered their first professional loss and ended up losing their heavyweight titles. Subsequently, because of Saudi Arabia, they were again set to fight, but this plan came to an end after Wilder lost against Joseph Parker. However, according to Joshua, there is still hope that their fight can happen this year in September.

Currently, Wilder is set to fight Zhilei Zhang on June 1 at the historic 5v5 card between Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry promotions. Similarly, Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois are also part of the fight card. Hence, Turki Alalshikh has told Joshua that he wants him to fight the heavyweight who delivers the best performance.

AJ also spoke about his thoughts on fighting Wilder after talks about their fight died out. The former heavyweight champion stated that if the Bronze Bomber can reignite his flame, they can fight next. He also reflected on how a boxer can look bad in one fight and then look good in another. 

Joshua’s prediction for Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury

The undisputed heavyweight clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury is set to happen on May 18. As such, Joshua weighed in his opinion about the fight and shared his analysis after sharing the ring twice with the Ukrainian.

Joshua has three professional losses, and two of them were against Usyk. This was back in 2021 and 2022. Hence, after fighting him twice, Anthony Joshua believes that The Cat is a phenomenal fighter. As such, he feels that he will deliver a great performance. However, AJ is not sure about Fury because he has not fought him till now. 

This caused Joshua to predict that Usyk would emerge victorious between the two. In addition, AJ is currently waiting to face the winner of the undisputed fight after Fury and Usyk fight twice. Joshua even stated that he wants to fight Fury and Usyk and prove that he is the best before the end of his career.
