Fury is aiming to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in almost a quarter of a century when he faces Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh on Saturday.
The rivals have signed terms to clash for a second time whatever the outcome at the Kingdom Arena but, should Fury prevail in a contest thought to be earning him £100m, the clamour for him to take on Joshua will grow louder.
Since losing his WBA, IBF and WBO titles to Usyk in September 2021, Joshua has steadily rebuilt by compiling wins against Jermaine Franklin Jr, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou in less than a year.
