Anthony Joshua set ‘to fight Wladimir Klitschko in rematch after their Wembley mega-fight’
King of boxing, Anthony Joshua who recently claimed the second of his heavyweight belts vacated by Fury in a career-defining 11th round win over decade-long ruler Wladimir Klitschko last week is ready to return to the ring again and this time with the same opponent. Can you beat that?
Joshua's next opponent will be Wladimir Klitschko – if promoter Eddie Hearn gets his way, according to online reports.
According to reports, Fury reckons Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has already rebooked Wembley for 90,000 lucky fans.
The promoter is determined to schedule a re-match of last month’s epic Wembley encounter that saw Joshua win in 11 rounds after a TKO.
Joshua retained the IBF heavyweight title and won the vacant WBA super and IBO heavyweight belts in the process and wowed the 90,000-strong crowd and millions watching on television.
And Hearn, 37, is determined to make the fight happen again.
There was also a re-match clause in the contract signed by Joshua and Klitschko, 41, before the original fight, with a possible 2018 date mooted.
That means Joshua would be free to fight later this year, with Klitschko feeling he has earned the respect he deserves for his spirited showing in the tense fight.

“It’s one of the best fights I’ve seen, everyone wants to see it again,
He told Boxing News.
“It’s the biggest fight out there for Josh, other than the Fury fight and I think he wins, so why not? That’s the fight we’d like next.”A possible top opponent for Joshua is Tyson Fury, who has not fought since he beat Klitschko in November 2015.
There was also a re-match clause in the contract signed by Joshua and Klitschko, 41, before the original fight, with a possible 2018 date mooted.
