However, for that to happen sooner rather than later, Joshua needs to beat Daniel Dubois.
And Fury will need to get revenge over Usyk in their December bout.
But legendary promoter Eddie Hearn believes that the two British icons will fight at some point no matter what.
Hearn told BBC Sport: “I do think AJ-Fury will happen regardless of whether Fury wins or not, but the size of the fight depends on their next two results.”

“If AJ beats Dubois and Fury beats Usyk, you’ve got the biggest fight in the history of the sport ever. If one loses and the other wins, it’s still a monster fight.”
