Setback for Joshua

Anthony Joshua's hopes of challenging for the world title have hit a roadblock as his next fight at Wembley Stadium is yet to be sanctioned for the belt.

Leading Name for the Fight

British rival Daniel Dubois is the frontrunner to welcome Joshua back to UK shores following his recent wins in Saudi Arabia.

Obstacle in the Path

Dubois' victory over Filip Hrgovic has put him in line for a shot at Oleksandr Usyk's title, but with Usyk set to rematch Tyson Fury, the path for Joshua and Dubois is unclear.

IBF's Decision

Despite hopes of the IBF stripping Usyk of the title, there has been no request to sanction the fight for the vacant strap.

Upcoming Rematch

Usyk and Fury are scheduled for a rematch in Saudi Arabia, while Joshua is eyeing his return to Wembley, potentially facing Dubois.

Joshua's Optimism

Anthony Joshua recently shared on social media that negotiations for his next fight are almost finalized, showing his motivation for the upcoming bout.

Past Success at Wembley

Joshua has a history of success at Wembley, having sold out the stadium for his world title wins over Klitschko and Povetkin.

Challenger Lineup

With Deontay Wilder out of the picture, Daniel Dubois emerges as the top contender to face Joshua following his impressive victory over Hrgovic.
