8 DEC 2019
Joshua won back his three heavyweight belts by beating Andy Ruiz Jr - but will be forced to give one up
Anthony Joshua has welcomed a fight against the dangerous Oleksandr Usyk.
The Briton won back his three heavyweight world titles last night by outpointing Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia.
In doing so he exacted revenge for his defeat by the Mexican-American six months ago in New York.
But with both the WBO and IBF demanding he fight his mandatory challengers next, Joshua is set to give up one of the belts.
He will likely have the option of either facing former unified cruiserweight champion Usyk or Kubrat Pulev who pulled out of a fight with Joshua in 2017 due to injury.

Promoter Eddie Hearn added: "There's an IBF mandatory, there's a WBO mandatory. Tonight's about celebrating the victory. His first mandatory was Kubrat Pulev, he pulled out, he faced Carlos Takam on a week's notice.
"His WBA mandatory was Alexander Povetkin. Nobody wanted to fight Alexander Povetkin at the time, he took care of that mandatory as well.
"Kubrat Pulev is the IBF mandatory, Oleksandr Usyk is the WBO mandatory, and I see him wanting to take both of those fights as well.
