Anthony Joshua names five potential opponents after Tyson Fury fight including two unbeaten stars

Anthony Joshua believes there is a number of options on the table after he faces Tyson Fury.

The British heavyweight is set for a big 2026 with his warm-up fight to come first against Kristian Prenga on July 25.

Providing he avoids a disastrous slip-up, AJ has signed to face bitter rival Fury, with the pair set to meet after years and years of failed attempts.

Many believe that for both commercial superstars, who are coming to the end of their careers, retirement could beckon for whoever is defeated.

Joshua is now 37 but has indicated he could fight until he is 40-years-old.

And after suggesting he’d be open to facing Moses Itauma, the Watford bruiser has a list of alternative names.

He told The Ring: “With me and Fury, it can’t be the only one.

“Because I know if I stay around long enough, there’s the rematch with Daniel Dubois, there’s a potential Fabio Wardley fight.

“There’s the Agit Kabayel fight out there, providing he becomes champion, how big that would be.

“There’s an Itauma fight as he’s coming up the rankings, there’s still the Deontay Wilder fight out there.

“These are gonna be massive fights, so Fury’s just another number, and I’m trying to say: I don’t put him on any pedestal, he isn’t above anyone.

“They’re all in my way, all on the same level. I’m not putting him above anyone.”

A fight with Wilder could be a realistic option given their history and with Wilder too a veteran.

But Kabayel and Itauma seem realistic given they are in their primes, and are seen as the new kids on the block.

Joshua – Full focus on Prenga and Fury

Nonetheless, his ambition is to beat the opposition in front of him, particularly the ‘Gypsy King’.

Verbal warfare has already began again between the pair, who are now set to duel in a blockbuster clash and perhaps British boxing’s biggest.

Despite personal turmoil, he is ready to go and prove why he is still the division’s leading star power.

He told talkSPORT: “Bring on Prenga, but bring on Fury as well.

“I’ve happily signed the contract, I saw it was a two-fight deal when it was presented with the Fury fight.

“They told me when I beat Prenga, it would be Tyson Fury. But it’s no problem to me, and there’s no pressure.

“I know what is required of me and I stepped up to the plate.”
