Anthony Joshua has made a bold prediction about who will win the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. On May 18 the two heavyweight champions will take to the ring in Saudi Arabia to settle their score.

Anthony Joshua has revealed how his next fight could take place on September 20 or 21 at Wembley Stadium in London. AJ also opened up on who could be in the opposite corner, having last taken to the ring to face Francis Ngannou on March 8.

The entrepreneur, 29, won Lord Sugar 's £250,000 investment last year and used the money to fund the expansion. Marnie put on a leggy display in a shimmering gold mini dress, teamed with nude stilettos.

Deontay Wilder (left) could finally be set to end what's been a long wait to fight Anthony Joshua (top right), and according to his agent Shelly Finkel, is 'hoping' an offer to take on the British fighter will be made later in 2024. The heavyweights have been circling eachother for years, with boxing fans eager to see Joshua and Wilder square off in the ring. Despite that, Wilder is set to return to avenge his defeat against Joseph Parker in June as he takes on Zhilei Zhang during Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren's 5v5 event.  Joshua, meanwhile, is yet to announce his next opponent, after he claimed an emphatic knockout victory against Francis Ngannou in March. While it seems he is waiting to set up a fight against Tyson Fury, who will take on Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, reports from The Sun claim that Joshua could return to the ring in September. 

Former unified heavyweight world champion Andy Ruiz will face Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller in Los Angeles on August 3 following his two-year hiatus from the ring. Ruiz has not fought since beating Luis Ortiz via unanimous decision in September 2022,  but will return to the canvas in California later this year.

Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has revealed the three fights he wants to make happen - including a bout between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.  As it stands, Fury is currently preparing for his undisputed world heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk next month, while 'AJ' has just beaten Francis Ngannou. However, despite their previous or upcoming arrangements, fans have continued discussing a potential bout between the two - with Turki Alalshikh also offering his view.  

From school run to home office to walking the dog to pounding the treadmill, many of us are spending all day in clothes once reserved for exercise only. Wearing the same outfit for day-to-day activities as well as for working out in is so popular it has given rise to its own fashion category: 'athleisure', a market worth £287 billion globally in 2023. But did you know that this kind of kit can have a direct impact, good and bad, on both our athletic performance and OUR health?

With over 50,000 runners taking part in the historic race around the English capital, some, naturally, found it tougher than others and perhaps needed a bit of encouragement. From Sir Jim Ratcliffe running the 26.2mile course and making it to Wembley for Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry to Eastenders filming at the course, a number of famous faced were in attendance, but not all running in the race.

Anthony Joshua, Wayne Rooney and British rapper ArrDee were spotted at the O2 on Friday evening watching WWE Live. Joshua not only watched the event but went backstage to meet Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and WWE Superstar Natalya. The two-time heavyweight boxing world champion was present to watch Apollo from the UK Gladiators make a surprise appearance.

British sporting sensation Anthony Joshua has revealed the career he would like to do if he wasn't a professional boxer, and it's safe to say the answer has surprised a lot of his fans. The two-time heavyweight world champion faced his toughest test to date after agreeing to be interviewed by nine year old Josie Bell for children's current affairs magazine The Week Junior. The youngster quizzed Joshua on a range of topics as they went toe-to-toe at Finchley Boxing Club in North London, where AJ used to train under his first boxing coach Sean Murphy an amateur.

The professional footballer, 25, relaxed on the edge of the pool and was all smiles before taking a dip in the water.

Francis Ngannou will reportedly return to action in September or October after agreeing his first fight since being beaten by Anthony Joshua. The former UFC heavyweight champion was comprehensively beaten by Joshua last month in his second professional boxing fight. He was sent to the canvas three times in Saudi Arabia as Joshua earned a knockout victory in two rounds.

Chloe Kelly has teamed up with Anthony Joshua's sports management agency ahead of a potential move from Manchester City to Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Mail Sport revealed in February that PSG are ready to make Kelly the highest-paid women's player in Europe as the England star prepares to enter the final year of her contract at City. Now Kelly, who fired the Lionesses to Euro Championship glory at Wembley in 2022, has signed up with Joshua's 258 MGT agency who will work alongside her representatives Panthera Sports and aim to maximise her off-the-field potential.

Tyson Fury has put Anthony Joshua on hold as he maps out no fewer than ten more fights which will transform him from a multi millionaire into boxing's first billionaire. The much anticipated Battle of the British giants will have to wait until next year as the Gypsy King and Ukrainian war hero Oleksandr Usyk clash twice in 2024 to decide which of them will reign as the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis. Fury says: ''Unless the contract between Usyk and me isn't worth the paper it's written on - and it's a double bubble worth a helluva lot to both of us - we will be having a rematch after our first fight next month.'

Joshua is riding the wave after beating Francis Ngannou in the pair's heavyweight battle earlier this year, knocking out the former MMA star in the second round of their highly awaited match. The British threw himself into the competition for a world championship clash next year, and it was clearly scheduled to face the winner of Tyson Fury's match with Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua is likely to find out his next opponent on May 18.

In what would be a massive Battle of Britain showdown, Eddie Hearn has revealed that Anthony Joshua wants to finally meet Tyson Fury in the ring before the year's end. Joshua seems to be the front runner of Fury's upcoming match against Usyk, where the heavyweight division looks to be unified, but Hearn claims the 34-year-old's next immediate challengers are both brothers.

Joseph Parker has called out Dillian Whyte in a strange fashion by reenacting the video clip from Take That's 1995 hit Back for Good. Whyte won a close match by unanimous decision at The O2 Arena in London four years ago, just three months after his opponent lost his WBO heavyweight title to Anthony Joshua in Cardiff. The loss against Whyte was Parker's second straight defeat, and the New Zealander is keen to tie the record for the second straight.

Sparta Promotions Limited, Anthony Joshua's company, has profited from a rise in stock in the last year after the British heavyweight enjoyed a fruitful 2023. During the calendar year, the 34-year-old boxer battled three times, defeating Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin to bounce back from defeating Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022. Joshua, who has a whopping 16.9 million followers on Instagram and is one of the world's most popular celebrities, ranked 28th in the World's top-paid athletes rankings for 2023.

Eddie Hearn has slammed Francis Ngannou for appearing to argue that Anthony Joshua's demolishing loss was down to his late arrival at the arena. Joshua knocked down the former UFC heavyweight champion three times in two rounds, resulting in a dominant win in Saudi Arabia. In a recent interview with MMA Hour, Ngannou said he arrived in Riyadh two hours before Joshua, suggesting that this was a 'trick' to tire him out.

The Saudi Arabian powerbroker, who has been instrumental in bringing some of the biggest boxing matches to the Gulf State, has teased a 'large' display at Wembley later this year. Since their high-profile clashes, Turki Alalshikh has been a regular presence on the ring front in recent years, and his name has never been far from fighters and promoters alike. The Saudi advisor's list of accomplishments includes bringing the Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou and Anthony Joshua vs. Ngannou, as well as the tense heavyweight match between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.

He believes the money involved in Usyk and Fury's tense title fight on May 18 - a £100 million win for the victor - would result in a rematch. AJ has to fill his days and locate someone to fight before Fury. Filip Hrgovic, Deontay Wilder, and Joseph Parker are among the potential options after beating Francis Ngannou.

In any sport, accepting defeat is difficult, and boxing is particularly challenging in the case of fighters who suffer such lows after a knockout loss. Any boxers are able to put it behind them, admit they were second best and aspire to return better. For those that aren't so straightforward, they must have an excuse for why things went wrong. Francis Ngannou, the former UFC champion, moved to boxing last year and took on heavyweight king Tyson Fury all the way back in October.
