Eddie Hearn has claimed Anthony Joshua will fight Tyson Fury this summer if he beats Jermaine Franklin and the Gypsy King's heavyweight unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk collapses.
The boxing promoter, 43, also insisted that 'AJ' is ready to face anyone, including Deontay Wilder ahead of his return to the ring against Franklin in April.
Usyk defeated Joshua in their rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, last August on a split decision after he had beaten him by unanimous decision a year prior at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Meanwhile, Fury and Usyk are currently negotiating terms for an undisputed heavyweight title fight - which will unify the division for the first time since Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in 1999.
