Anthony Joshua has set the stage for his next big fight, revealing key details about the location and potential opponents for his upcoming bout. The former heavyweight champion is gearing up for a showdown at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium in September, following his impressive knockout victory over Francis Ngannou in March.

With top contenders Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk tied up in a two-fight deal, Joshua is on the hunt for a worthy adversary. In a recent interview with Talksport, the British boxer disclosed that his next opponent will be determined based on the performances of heavyweight fighters Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang, Daniel Dubois, and Filip Hrgovic on June 1 in Riyadh.

Joshua shared, “It’s gonna be in London, Wembley Stadium. This is what I’m being told. If that’s what [the Saudis] say, they normally back their word, so let’s go with that: Wembley, 20 or 21 September.” He also revealed that His Excellency Turki Al-Sheikh, the Saudi adviser behind the country’s boxing initiatives, expressed his desire for Joshua to face the most impressive fighter from the June card.

The heavyweight division is buzzing with excitement as Fury and Usyk prepare to face off on May 18 in Riyadh to determine the undisputed champion.
