Anthony Joshua admits he has given up dream of being undisputed world champion

Anthony Joshua has admitted his 'road to undisputed' may have come to an end amid the drama atop the heavyweight division with Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

The two-time unified heavyweight champion attempted on multiple occasions to figure out an undisputed fight with first Deontay Wilder and then Tyson Fury during his time with the belts. However, neither of those fights ever came to fruition, and after watching the Fury and Usyk bout fall apart, he has admitted that he may never get a chance at holding all four belts.

Joshua will first need to make a successful comeback on Saturday night before he can go for any of the titles, with bookies making him a heavy favourite against Jermaine Franklin. And he is hopeful that if he gets through his latest test at the O2 Arena that he's in line for a shot at Fury this summer.
