Anthony Joshua will not be fighting Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk next, according to his good friend Derek Chisora.
Former two-time world champion Joshua was promised a shot at the undisputed world titles following his brutal KO win against Francis Ngannou last month. Fury and Usyk fight for all four heavyweight belts next month and their fight has a two-way rematch clause, meaning they will likely meet again later this year regardless of the result.
Queensbury Promotions are hosting a Wembley Stadium event later this year and Chisora claims Joshua will be headlining the card. “He will fight the winner of Daniel Dubois and [Filip] Hrgovic in Wembley. F*** it, I’ve got a big mouth. That’s the plan. It’s gonna be a sick, a little adventure for Turki Alalshikh to bring it back to London,” Chisora told iFL TV.

For the actual real boxing, it’s me and Oleksandr Usyk who fight for the undisputed heavyweight world championship of the world. I had a s*** performance against Francis Ngannou, that’s what a boxer should have done with him, but if he fights next year it’ll be a different game.”
