When is Anthony Joshua's next fight? Latest news and updates
We bring you all the latest news about Anthony Joshua's next fight.
Anthony Joshua is rebuilding towards a world title fight with his stock rising over his most recent fights.
AJ claimed 22 victories without loss in the peak of his career to date, and took the huge scalp of Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in 2017 to amass the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts at once.
However, a shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 and back-to-back defeats against Oleksandr Usyk led to an unhappy patch for Joshua, who lost three fights in five outings.
Joshua has fought his way back into contention at the top of the heavyweight division with victories over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin – but where does he go from here?
RadioTimes.com brings you the latest news on who Anthony Joshua could fight next.

Who will Anthony Joshua fight next?
Anthony Joshua's next fight will be against Francis Ngannou on Friday 8th March 2024.
Ngannou is a former UFC world champion and made his professional boxing debut against Tyson Fury as recently as October 2023.
The 37-year-old was not expected to perform anywhere near as competitively as he did, putting Fury on the canvas before lasting 10 rounds and being controversially defeated via split decision.
If Joshua stops Ngannou with a confident display, he will position himself as the 'best of the rest' at the front of the queue to face the victor of Usyk v Fury, which takes place in May.
There had been talk of Joshua facing Deontay Wilder, but the American's defeat to Joseph Parker, beaten by Joshua in the past, appears to have poured cold water on that showdown.
