“It only takes one shot in the heavyweight division. I’m just doing it while I’m here and making the most of it. In five years, I won’t be fighting,” Anthony Joshua said.

Looking forward, Anthony Joshua sets his sights on the winner of Tyson Fury’s upcoming two-fight series against Oleksandr Usyk, the current WBO, WBA, and IBF champion.

The potential showdown promises to be a colossal event, with fans eager to witness the clash between two formidable forces in the heavyweight division.

On the other hand, Francis Ngannou is expected to make a return to MMA, with a scheduled fight against PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira later this year.
