Anthony Joshua ready to battle anybody @ Wembley April 13

 

Though Anthony Joshua’s next opponent is yet unknown his promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that the wembley has already been booked for April 13th battle royal against anybody.

The IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champions of the world overcame his most recent challenge back in September when he felled Alexander Povetkin in the seventh round at Wembley Stadium.

Speculation persists, however, over who the heavyweight’s opponent will be after fellow Brit Tyson Fury secured a lucrative deal to face American Deontay Wilder in December.

It is widely anticipated that the winner of that fight will face Joshua in spring 2019, with a potential IBF mandatory following after that.

Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev set himself up as the most likely opponent by beating another Briton in Hughie Fury — Tyson’s cousin — by unanimous points last month.

Pulev had been due to fight Joshua in Cardiff last year only to pull out shortly before the clash through injury.

Dillian Whyte could also be the challenger next year, with Joshua having already beaten his fellow Brit by TKO back in 2015.

The 2012 Olympic gold medallist has meanwhile been enjoying a well-deserved holiday in Jamaica and from all indication is relishing every bit of it.

He struck a Herculean pose at the side of the pool Friday before posting the picture with the caption: ‘JAMAICA. Got me feeling on top of the world.’

The 29-year-old did, however, showed he is still striving to stay the peak of fitness ahead of what promises to be a huge 2019.

He posted videos of himself working out in the gym, doing crunches and cardio on the treadmill, in a bid to maintain his robust frame.

But it wasn’t all work and no play for the Nigerian British pugilist as he also took to diving into the pool from the top of his villa and appears to be striking up a fine balance between relaxation and graft.
