Anthony Joshua told he's not ready to fight Tyson Fury or Detonay Wilder

Anthony Joshua has been told by his own promoter that he's not ready to face Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder after changing his camp and struggling in his last outing.

The two-time world heavyweight champion is on the comeback trail after his two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, and marked his return last time out with a win over Jermaine Franklin. Despite beating the American comfortably at The O2 in London, Joshua failed to impress and could only win on points.

And his promoter Eddie Hearn has admitted it may be too soon for a summer showdown with the likes of Fury or Wilder, instead opting for a slight step up. It is expected that he will face Dillian Whyte next, but he could also end up skipping that step and returning in December with a big fight.
