An undefeated, highly ranked heavyweight has called out Anthony Joshua for his next fight.
‘AJ’ is a former two-time world champion who is now in the twilight of his career.
He has had many epic nights and plenty of successful highs including big wins over the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker and Dillian Whyte, but has also tasted defeat against Andy Ruiz Jr and twice to Oleksandr Usyk to leave him beltless.

Most recently, after building his way back to the top, he was stopped in an IBF world title clash with Daniel Dubois in September.
That has left him on the sidelines and plotting his route back after initially choosing not to take a rematch with ‘DDD.’
One man keen to share the ring with the Brit is German Agit Kabayel, who stopped Zhilei Zhang in the sixth round last time out in February to become the WBC interim champion having beaten Frank Sanchez and Arslanbek Makhmudov in his two previous outings.
Speaking on his own YouTube channel, Kabayel made his plea for a battle with Joshua.
“I keep saying the fight against Anthony Joshua, I think the whole boxing world, everyone from everywhere, wants to see it … I’ll answer the question – whether it makes sense for us to fight Joshua – straightaway: yes. For me it will definitely be fun to box against AJ, as I said, I can also measure myself athletically, whether I think I’m in good shape against AJ, whether I get along well with AJ.”
Many had hoped Joshua would finally get it on with Tyson Fury, who has also lost in back to back fights with Usyk in his most recent two outings, though ‘The Gypsy King’ instead retired in Janaury.
As such, this fight could present a good opportunity for Joshua to get himself very much back in the mix at world level.
