Anthony Joshua isn’t at the tail end of his career yet, but he’s certainly at a point where he must be meticulous and make the proper decisions in order to maximize what he has left in the tank.
The 34-year-old has bounced back from back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk with four straight victories, the last three of which have been simply dominant. That has put Joshua in a great spot for a big fight or world title shot.

Daniel Dubois should be Joshua’s opponent if IBF title is on the line
There are essentially three names that he must choose between, but his decision still hinges on Usyk, according to Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn.
If that’s [Daniel] Dubois for the IBF, that’s probably the frontrunner; if the belt’s not on the line, it might be [Zhilei] Zhang, or it might be [Joseph] Parker. Those three, I think, are decent names, but no decision’s been made yet, and I don’t think it will be for another week or so.

Hearn concedes that the IBF‘s decision whether to strip Usyk of the belt will play a major part in their opponent selection. Usyk taking the rematch against Tyson Fury has put the IBF in a tough position. Although they have said they could potentially grant an exception for Usyk to keep his belt, it’s not a given.
If it gets freed up, Dubois is the mandatory challenger, and that would set up an epic British showdown for the title at Wembley Stadium in September with Joshua. Of all of the options, that one is the most tantalizing, at least for boxing fans.
