Filip Hrgovic has vowed to "destroy" Anthony Joshua after the Brit's laclustre win over Jermaine Franklin.
Joshua returned to the ring for the first time since suffering back-to-back defeats against Oleksandr Usyk, outpointing American contender Franklin at London's O2 arena. 'AJ' was disappointed not to force a stoppage but is now back in the win column, which he is hoping will thrust him into huge fights with Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
Despite calling out the 'Gypsy King' after the final bell, Joshua's team have been suggesting that he could continue the rebuild with fights against the likes of stablemates Hrgovic and Dililan Whyte before jumping in with the undefeated champion. However Croatian star Hrgovic, who is the mandatory challenger with the IBF, believes he is the man to derail AJ's new rebuilding plan.
