Anthony Joshua Confirms September Date for Next Fight

British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua has announced that his next fight is scheduled for either September 20 or 21 at Wembley Stadium in London.

Joshua discussed potential opponents, following his last bout against Francis Ngannou on March 8. He indicated that his next challenger would be determined by the outcomes of the fights on the June 1 card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which features Deontay Wilder against Zhilei Zhang and Filip Hrgovic versus Daniel Dubois.

Joshua mentioned that he plans to face the winner of either of those matches.

In a conversation with talkSPORT, he stated, “Whenever they tell me there’s a date, you know I’ll be ready 100 per cent. It’s gonna be in London, Wembley Stadium.

“This is what I’m being told. If that’s what they say, they normally back their word so let’s go with that. Wembley, September 20 or 21.”

When asked who he and His Excellency were looking at as his next opponent, Joshua said: “On June 1 in Saudi Arabia they’ve got the 5 vs 5 card.

“You’ve got Filip Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois, and you’ve got Zhilei Zhang vs Deontay Wilder.

“So providing one of those looks good – the one who looks the best, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh said to me, ‘I want you to fight [him].”
