Frank Warren has suggested Anthony Joshua’s next opponent after failing to get talks of a fight with Tyson Fury off the ground.
The Queensbury promoter stated last week that the ‘Gypsy King’ was “desperate” to line up a showdown with ‘AJ as the WBC champion searches for his next opponent’. However, Joshua is working towards making a domestic fight for August ahead of an expected bout with Deontay Wilder at the end of the year.
Given that several top contenders are seemingly out of the running to fight Fury, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn claimed that Filip Hrgovic would be a suitable opponent for the WBC belt. However, Warren has spun Hearn’s point back in Joshua’s direction and has called for the blame not to fall on Fury for failing to reach a fight agreement.
