Joshua confident of Dubois bout, makes plan for Fury

It appears that Anthony Joshua’s camp is already making plans for beyond the Daniel Dubois fight, with rumours of a fight with rival Tyson Fury abounding, reports express.co.uk.

Saudi Arabian Minister, Turki Alalshikh, has confirmed that he is gearing up to make an offer to Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury for the British pair to finally do battle. The chairman of the General Entertainment Authority admitted that he has designs on putting on the long-awaited bout between heavyweight superstars after their upcoming respective fights.

The prospect of the boxing icons facing off against each other for the first time in their careers has been mooted by both camps stretching back a number of years. However, the stars may finally align in that regard with Joshua and Fury potentially in a position to fight for the undisputed honours by the end of the year.

All four world heavyweight belts will be up for grabs if the pair can be coaxed into stepping into the ring – provided they both win their next fights.

In the case of ‘AJ’, he will do battle with Daniel Dubois for the IBF crown on September 21, while ‘The Gypsy King’ will have the chance to win the WBA, WBC and WBO titles from Oleksandr Usyk if he can avenge his defeat to the Ukrainian in their re-match on December 21.

Now, Saudi official Alalshikh has admitted that he is hoping that Joshua and Fury can prevail in their next bouts as he eyes a potentially era-defining world unified heavyweight championship fight.

Speaking to TalkSport, he said: “For the business, of course, it will be a huge fight if Joshua wins.
