      The Croatian is on the hunt for a worthy opponent as he looks to become a world champion.
      And Hrgovic, 31, has fixed his sights on Joshua, with both men promoted by Eddie Hearn.
      AJ is already making moves after beating Jermaine Franklin in his last fight.
      It’s reckoned Joshua will take on fellow Brit Dillian Whyte in August.

      And that could pave the way for a highly-anticipated bout against Deontay Wilder in December.
      There could even finally be an epic encounter against Tyson Fury further down the line.
      But Hrgovic is hoping he gets a go at Joshua in the near future.
      The ‘Animal’ has won all 15 of his fights, with 12 coming by way of knockout.

      He’s already made light work of big names including Eric Molina and Zhilei Zhang.
      And after seeing a bout against Andy Ruiz Jr fall through, Hrgovic is now lining up Joshua for a showdown.
      He’s certainly confident of winning, telling Boxing News: “I’ll destroy him. I think I’ll destroy him. If he comes in this shape I’ll destroy him.
      “I expected more [against Franklin]. I thought he was going to knock him out, but he was too cautious and didn’t let his hands go.
      “It was a decent performance but nothing spectacular. He needs more fights to get back into real shape. People expect to see more from the former two-time champ.
      “He was a little bit slow and sleepy, not aggressive. If he wants to become champion again then I’m in his way. I’m IBF mandatory and he should fight me next.” More

      But she has also proved that she is a tough cookie with a successful defence of her IBF title against Shannon O’Connell in December.
      Bridges shone bright in the world of boxing and has won nine out of 10 fights, losing the other.
      But the Blonde Bomber has also taken social media by storm with a series of glam pics on Instagram and steamy content on her OnlyFans page.

      Having moved to the UK from her native Australia two years ago, she has been living in Essex, close to her Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn’s HQ.
      But with her last three bouts all coming in Leeds – which is also the home of the Elland Road football club she supports – Bridges sees little reason to stay down south.
      That has led to her announcing on Twitter: “Yes the rumours are true, I’m relocating up north.
      “North is where my heart has always been. I’m excited for the change.”

      And that instantly led to many of her 330k followers offering her a place to stay.

      Another joked: “Thought we’d announce it now, she’s moving in with me…”
      While a fellow fan said: “We have a spare room.”
      While not offering a room, another Northerner chipped in with: “Haha seen the rental prices up north and people actually say hello.”
      Bridges has been out of action since injuring her hand in her victory over O’Connell.
      The star is expected to be back to defend her title later this year.

      UFC president Dana White entertained the crossover bout last month, much to the surprise of many.
      And pound-for-pound king Jones admits he’d jump at the opportunity to trade leather with the Brit bruiser.
      During a red carpet event in Las Vegas last weekend, he said: “I would love it if Dana could make that fight happen.
      “That’s one thing about the UFC, we always give the fans what they want to see.”

      Jones, 35, has the utmost respect for the undefeated Fury – so much he’d want to test himself against the Wythenshawe warrior in the squared circle.
      He continued: “Tyson Fury is just such a magnificent opponent, and it would be awesome to make that fight happen.
      “I’m up for it, and I’d even be willing to box him. Let’s see what happens.”
      The ring is seemingly the only place the pair will ever throw down as Fury has no interest in trying his hand at mixed martial arts – despite numerous teases down the years.

      He wrote in an Instagram story: “If you guys want to fight me it’s got to be under boxing rules.
      “I don’t roll round the floor, I stand up and punch.”
      Fury, 34, is currently without an opponent following the collapse of his historic undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year.
      But the pair could throw down in a multi-million December dust-up in Saudi Arabia.
      UFC Hall of Famer Jones, meanwhile, hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since returning from a three-year lay-off against Ciryl Gane in March.
      Bones claimed the vacant heavyweight title with ease, submitting the Frenchman in just under two minutes to become a two-division champion.
      The UFC brass are hoping to have Jones return to action in November at Madison Square Garden, the venue for their penultimate pay-per-view event of the year – UFC 295. More

      But Eddie Hearn has revealed broadcasting rights could prove to be a stumbling blockCredit: INSTAGRAM@EDDIEHEARN
      Both men have gone public with their desire to settle their five-year-long feud, which began when they held all the hardware at heavyweight.
      But Hearn admits the fight hinges on hashing out a broadcasting deal which respects Joshua’s contract with DAZN.
      The Matchroom Boxing chief told iFL TV: “Subject to a formal contract being sent, we’re very confident that fight gets made.
      “I can’t speak on behalf of Deontay Wilder, but I’m very confident he’ll be accepting the money and the deal that comes through from Saudi Arabia.

      “For us, it’s making sure that all of our contracts are respected. That probably means a multi-platform deal around that night.
      “We can’t breach our agreements, but I don’t think that it will be an issue.”
      The oil-rich Saudis have tabled an informal offer to Hearn for the fight but have yet to send over anything official.
      The 44-year-old said: “We have an offer without a contract. So we need to wait on that contract.”
