Anthony Joshua might find yourself dealing with Oleksandr Usyk for a 3rd time if the Watford powerhouse's new coach Ben Davison will get his manner. AJ is planning on pushing on in 2024 after a profitable rebuild final yr.

Eddie Hearn claims his consumer will field 3 times this yr or 3 times from March 2024, when Joshua is predicted to return to the ring, to March 2025. Joshua will probably face Filip Hrgovic for the soon-to-be-vacated IBF strap in his subsequent outing and offering all goes effectively there then the previous unified heavyweight champion will probably be in a primed place to face the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury as soon as they full their two-fight dedication. 

Joshua seems to favour a home dust-up with Fury whereas, in line with Hearn, Davison fancies one other crack at Usyk, who outpointed AJ twice. “The things that AJ wants to do is be in massive fights, win the world heavyweight title, and fight Tyson Fury, or get another crack at Usyk," Hearn told iFL TV.

"That’s what Ben [Davison] wants – another crack at Usyk. For me, obviously, I’d love the Fury fight.” Joshua began working with Davison shortly after his disappointing show towards Robert Helenius in August.

Although AJ ultimately acquired the stoppage, his timid show left so much to be desired. At the time, Joshua was working with Derrick James and the Davison link-up seemed to be extra of a stop-gap. 

“I was training with Ben Davison in the UK and this fight came up with seven weeks to go and it would have been crazy to pack up and go to the States,” Joshua stated. “I think it has been really good with Ben, as it has been with Derrick.

"I have a great relationship with Derrick, he messaged me today actually but I have to stay focused. I am not on my phone as much, I am not replying to many people. Afterwards, we will catch up and I am sure I will be back in Texas again working with him soon.”

But after a stellar displaying towards Wallin, Joshua could also be contemplating a everlasting partnership with Fury's former coach.
