While the 2012 Gold Olympic medallist is taking a well-deserved rest, Joshua is readying himself for huge year as he attempts to defend his titles as well as unify the heavyweight division.

The Watford-born champion cruised to victory in his rematch with Andy Ruiz earlier this month – putting him back on course for an iconic clash with either of the other ‘big three’ members.

Fury and Wilder will fight for the second time in February, with the ‘Gypsy King’ challenging for the American’s WBC belt – while Joshua holds the IBO, IBF, WBO and WBA belts.

‘I really don’t know. Either one of them, it doesn’t matter.

‘The preference would be the champion Wilder because it’s a championship fight, but Fury is so talented as well and it’s the best of British so why not? I’ll fight either one of them.

‘The dream would be to go for the fifth belt in 2020.’
