ANTHONY JOSHUA has a stunning six-man hitlist for his next fight – with Tyson Fury among those targeted.
Joshua was ringside in Saudi Arabia to watch as Fury was beaten for the first time when Oleksandr Usyk was crowned undisputed king.
Fury and Usyk are heading for a rematch in October while AJ is due to return in September in a Wembley homecoming bout.
His opponent remains up in the air but according to promoter Eddie Hearn, anyone can get it.
Hearn told Matchroom Boxing: “He’s ready to fight anybody. He’d love to fight Oleksandr Usyk again, he’d love to fight Tyson Fury.
“Happy to fight [Filip] Hrgovic, happy to fight [Daniel] Dubois, happy to fight [Joseph] Parker, [Deontay] Wilder.

“You have not got a problem with Anthony Joshua. Literally, anybody who wants it can get it.”
Usyk, 37, twice beat Joshua, 34, on points to win and regain the heavyweight titles.
And he became the division’s first four-belt undisputed champ after beating Fury, 35, in a 12-round thriller.
A rematch is contracted but a Battle of Britain bout against AJ has not been ruled out if Usyk opts to enjoy his win with extended time out.

Hearn said: “If Usyk’s injured, can’t make the date, do you make Fury versus Joshua, with the winner fighting Usyk?
“The answer for me is yes please.”
Usyk is also set to be STRIPPED of the IBF belt if he rematches Fury as Hrgovic is the mandatory challenger.
The Croatian contender, 31, faces Dubois, 25, on June 1 in Saudi Arabia for what is expected to be for the vacant IBF belt or an interim version.
The winner is then in line to fight Joshua at England’s 90,000-seat stadium for the title.
Wilder, 38, also returns in Saudi against Zhilei Zhang, 41, looking to bounce back from defeat to Parker.
The loss to the 32-year-old New Zealander cost the Bronze Bomber a fight with Joshua earlier in the year.
