Anthony Joshua is expected to return to the ring in March with Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wider shortlisted as potential opponents.
'AJ' has only fought once this year when he came up short in a unified heavyweight title rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia in August. The former two-time champion faces a significant rebuild if he is to return to the pinnacle of the division - and he could have done so against Tyson Fury.
However the fight, which was pencilled in for this weekend, collapsed after Joshua missed his long-term rival's deadline which will now see him return in the new year. It is understood Whyte and Wilder are the two leading candidates to be the heavyweight's next dance partner, but the latter could depend on the status of his WBC elimintator against Andy Ruiz Jr.
