Boxing followers are nonetheless ready to see what is going to occur on the high of the heavyweight division. Oleksandr Usyk handed on a compulsory title combat in opposition to Joseph Parker, forcing the latter to arrange a mult-championship bout in opposition to Fabio Wardley. Usyk seems to be ready for a trilogy combat in opposition to Tyson Fury, which is but to materialize.
In the meantime, the “retired” Fury has overtly spoken about presumably combating Anthony Joshua. The all-British contest can be a real spectacle regardless of each boxers’ current defeats. It could be a monetary success for each fighters, however nothing is confirmed and it looks like neither boxer is aware of what to do subsequent.

A brutal knockout! Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua can not imagine the hit they witnessed
May Anthony Joshua combat Arslanbek Makhmudov in 2026?
In an interview with Boxing Information, Arslanbek Makhmudov revealed he spoke to Joshua by way of Instagram in a “pleasant” chat that ended with a close to affirmation of a bout between the 2.
“Yeah, we simply spoke a bit bit on Instagram. Simply pleasant, you recognize. And I provided him as a subsequent combat, he mentioned, ‘Okay, subsequent 12 months then. Subsequent 12 months we are able to do it.’“
Makhmudov’s opponent on Saturday, Dave Allen, even mentioned himself that he believes Joshua will take on Makhmudov if the Russian wins. Surprisingly, although, Allen would not imagine he’d get a shot at AJ if he comes out victorious.
“I feel if he (Joshua) returns, he’ll field Makhmudov, if Makhmudov beats me. If I win, I do not suppose I am going to field Joshua, however that is what I feel will occur.“
Makhmudov is a menacing fighter with legit energy, however that hasn’t at all times led to success. He misplaced handily by TKO to Agit Kabayel in 2023 after which to Guido Vianello in 2024. Allen has seven losses on his report, so beating him would not make Makhmudov a universally accepted opponent for Joshua.
