Anthony Joshua has said he has held “proactive talks” with Saudi Arabia boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh about a future fight.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) the 34-year-old confirmed the news, quote tweeting a post from Alalshikh, which included a photo of the pair with Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn.
The two-time former unified world heavyweight champion suffered a fifth-round knockout loss to IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in a stunningly one-sided fight. He confirmed after the loss that he would continue in the sport, before suggesting he remains in pursuit of a third world-heavyweight title.
It was the fourth loss of Joshua’s boxing career, but it appears as if he is not yet ready to call time on it yet.
Proactive talks 🤝 @Turki_alalshikh 🇸🇦

Thank you to all my supporters who came to the fight, I appreciate you all 🙏 https://t.co/0ujGVJDFQO
Hearn earlier this week hinted the 34-year-old could come up against either Dubois in a rematch or head into a headline-grabbing bout against one of long-term rivals Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder.
