Anthony Joshua has a fight plan outlined for him should a bout with Tyson Fury fail to materialise.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Joshua had reportedly accepted Fury's offer ahead of a proposed fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Fury revealed that he has offered Joshua a 60:40 split for a potential fight.
But if a deal is not agreed upon, then Joshua has a plan ahead of him - with names already being mentioned, such as Filip Hrgovic, Zhilei Zhang and Otto Wallin before a summer bout with Dillian Whyte.

When speaking on who Joshua could fight if the Fury bout does not materialise, Hearn said: "We're not interested in gimme fights. It's got to be an element of risk. Look at the top 15. Dillian Whyte is not a fight for December, but it's a fight for March and the summer, 100 per cent. It's a big stadium in the UK.
"You've got Filip Hrgovic. He just won. I think it was a poor performance from him. Zhilei Zhang looked good. Otto Wallin had a very close fight with Tyson Fury.
"Dillian (Whyte) is a very good fighter; he's a dangerous fighter. I would like to give Dillian a fight in November, and then I'd like to make the AJ fight, subject to the Tyson Fury stuff.
"These guys have got to get active. Dillian fought in March 2021, and then his next fight was in April 2022. These guys, AJ included, they've been having one fight a year because of Covid because of rematches because of mandatories. I want to get them active.
"AJ fighting every three months is going to be a tough guy to beat once that confidence is going, once that belief in his training team is going. I spoke to AJ last night, and his message is clear. 'If he's [Fury] serious, let's do it'.
"Like I said, originally the plan was December, February, March, and that could be Dillian Whyte or go into Fury or Wilder or all those guys."
