Joe Joyce will fight Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk.
Joyce, who campaigned for AJ fight, is set to face the WBO mandatory challenger.
Trainer Atlas stated on his podcast that Joe Joyce could end up fighting Joshua or Usyk.
"I will tell you something, I believe he knocks Joshua out. What does that make you Brits feel? It's time to light it up!
Atlas is a veteran trainer of heavyweights and Mike Tyson's first coach.
He also seized Alexander Povetkin and Michael Moorer, former world champions.
Atlas has also backed Usyk (35), to defeat Joshua (32).
He stated that he believed Usyk would win. I cannot go against Usyk. How can I oppose the guy when he gives me no reason to?
He was an undefeated champion cruiserweight and unified all titles.
"He doesn’t know how to win."
While 19-0 Usyk remains unbeaten, Joshua suffered defeat twice, first to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019, and was criticized for his response.
Atlas stated: "I think Joshua is too good of a loser.
"He's a nice guy. I'm not saying that I want him to lose his cool. That would be the wrong thing.
"I just meant to say that Joshua sometimes accepts losing a bit too easily, as he did against Ruiz in the Garden. It almost seems like a man who has too much money.
"Sometimes, I feel it's not important enough for him anymore."
