Turki Alalshikh’s vision for his boxing future was recently revealed by Anthony Joshua. The two-time heavyweight champion of the world recently extended his spree of knockout victories. This was when he defeated former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou with a second-round KO. Now he is awaiting his chance to potentially become a three-time world champion and regain his former glory.
Furthermore, Alalshikh recently posted a photo with ‘AJ’, along with a caption that suggested he could face the winner of the match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. The two will be fighting for the undisputed heavyweight title on May 18. Joshua also recently spoke about what Alalshikh wishes to see in the future during an interview with talkSPORTS.

Alalshikh has been very vocal about how he wants to make the best fights happen in boxing. The same appears to be true with Joshua. In addition, he wants boxing fans to look back at his career and acknowledge his achievements.
Joshua also shares the same mindset and is aware that Saudi Arabia wants him to fight Fury in the future. He also revealed that he intends to fight other fighters in the meantime and remain active. This is mainly because Fury and Usyk will have to fight twice because of their rematch clause.
Eddie Hearn discusses potential opponents for AJ
After reaching the lowest point of his career, Joshua has managed to bounce back completely. This has now caused several doors of opportunity to open for him in terms of future fights. Furthermore, his promoter, Eddie Hearn, also spoke about him and revealed the next opponents he can fight.
Currently, Joshua is waiting for a potential trilogy fight against Usyk or a huge fight against his British rival, Fury. However, except for that, there is a possibility that AJ can fight the winner of Zhilei Zhang vs. Deontay Wilder. Both fights would be interesting to witness since Joshua has fought Zhang once and has had an intense rivalry with the Bronze Bomber.
In addition, there is also a possibility that Joshua can fight the winner of Filip Hrgović vs. Daniel Dubois. This would also help Anthony Joshua win a title and become a three-time world champion. Hence, Joshua seems to be patiently waiting to decide which fight will be best for him.
In case you missed it!
