Despite winning a fight less than 24 hours ago, Anthony Joshua has already got his sights set on the next one.

Th 27-year-old stopped Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round at Wembley Stadium last night, saying the cheers of the crowd helped spur him onto success, and he's begun to think about his next clash.

Speaking to Sky News earlier today, he said: "I have no problem with the rematch, let's do it if he wants it.

"But that's why I mentioned [Tyson Fury] I'm not calling out someone random, I've heard, I've seen, and it seems like it's heading in that direction.

"If that's the fight that would be bringing entertainment to the sport then I'd love to be involved in another dust up.

"I will go wherever I have to go to win a fight, I just enjoy fighting, I don't fold under pressure and find a way.

"I had 44 rounds as a pro before that fight, now I feel like I've had 144 rounds of boxing, and move on to bigger and better things.

"If I have to go through everyone to keep the division lively and entertained we will go through them one by one."

Exciting.

Tyson Fury has already announced he would be keen for a fight, taking to Twitter shortly after Joshua's win to ask Eddie Hearn to set it up.


Klitschko had, until last night, managed an impressive 13-year run without being stopped.

Speaking of the moment he won, he told the news outlet: "If you have the right people in your corner that you respect and trust, you can go and perform.

"You build on what they tell you. Sometimes it could take 12 rounds to happen. It took 11 rounds.

"I don't just like to win, I like to win in fashion.

"There are many ways to skin a cat, and we definitely ticked that entertainment box last night."

However, he's in no rush by the looks of things. He's already announced that he's going to enjoy a little break from his gruelling training schedule to spend some time with his family.
