Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to fight next month and Anthony Joshua has hinted he could finally meet the Gypsy King later this year in a long-awaited clash

Anthony Joshua has hinted he could finally fight Tyson Fury in September, following the Gypsy King's undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.

"Boxing is changing a lot, there is a new player, Turki Alalshikh, who is taking the world by storm," Joshua said on BBC One. "He is doing what he wants for the fans, it's amazing. So if the fans demand it, I know that he will deliver. I know the fans want me and Fury, I want that. I'm not going to give away plans, but he is a man of action. It's coming, most definitely it's coming.

"To be honest, he said be ready for September," Joshua explained. "Why he said that is because they have got a fight on June 1, all the heavyweights, five vs five, Eddie Hearn vs Frank Warren. Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has stated he expects Alalshikh to set up a clash between Fury and AJ if the Gypsy King beats Usyk next month, despite the Ukrainian fighter having a rematch clause.
