The announcement puts to bed speculation that Joshua would be hanging up his gloves after losing the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles in a one-sided bout at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

A potential fight date is reportedly being pitched to take place between the World Cup semi-finals and Final in Qatar, probably on December 17, while tens of thousands of football fans are in the Middle East.

The Gypsy King wrote on Twitter: "This is all news to me! Biggest load of rubbish ever!
