Unified boxing world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has hatched a three-point plan so he can dominate world heavyweight boxing.
AJ has the WBA, IBF and WBO belts and wants an undisputed double-header with Tyson Fury for his WBC strap.
The big Brit is already plotting a future route back to the WBO title if Oleksandr Usyk makes him drop it to land the £500million two-fight Gypsy King deal.
Usyk, the 33-year-old undisputed cruiserweight king, has been Joshua’s mandatory challenger for that belt since 2018.
He wants a crack at the title or a massive step-aside fee to let the all-English clash take place.
Eddie Hearn, who promotes AJ and the Ukrainian southpaw, is pushing the idea of the first fight being for all four titles.
The WBO belt would then be dropped so Usyk can contest it — and the two Englishman can settle their rivalry.
Joshua, 31, already has a Plan A, B and C to get all of boxing’s alphabet soup to himself.
He pondered: “Will people care if I have to lose a belt to Usyk? Will I have to give one up? I am not too sure yet.
“I don’t want to, because it is ‘the road to undisputed’.
“But I know that, when I win, I will go back and fight for that belt anyway — that will be my goal.
“I want to fight Fury, beat him again in the rematch — two difficult hurdles, serious fights — then I will go straight back to try to fight for that title again.”
