Anthony Joshua's next chance at a world title fight with Tyson Fury could have to wait until the end of next year as the Manchester native has set himself a four-fight hit list.
Joshua and Fury's fight talks this year were inches away from resulting in a December showdown, but the contracts couldn't be worked out in time and the Brits are now set for different fights later this year. Fury is going to face Derek Chisora in a trilogy bout, while Joshua's next opponents has yet to be named.
And with this latest effort at getting the fight over the line being called off, it now appears that Joshua could have to wait a considerable length of time for his next effort at the world heavyweight title. He has already lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk for the unified WBA, WBO and IBF belts, and Fury's WBC title was his one route back to the world level.
