Now Tyson Fury is set to unify all four belts for the first time in heavyweight history with Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.

But the pair are contracted to an immediate rematch, likely ruling them out for a whole year.

So AJ will not sit out and wait with his eyes already set on a summer return.

He told "Whether it will be in the UK, who knows? But maybe June, June/July."

After Fury's first fight with Usyk, the winner could face being stripped of the IBF title due to their rematch clause.

It would leave No1 contender Joshua in line to challenge for the belt against interim champion Filip Hrgovic.

Probed on the potential bout, AJ, 34, said: "Let's go!"

Joshua had initially signed to face Deontay Wilder, 38, until the American was stunned in defeat to Joseph Parker.
