EDDIE HEARN fears Anhony Joshua will only face one of his three “dream” rivals Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte.
AJ‘s promoter reckons the Brit taking on explosive hitter Wilder could be the biggest fight in heavyweight boxing.
Anthony Joshua lost twice to Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk but hopes to return against another big name in heavyweight boxing
Tyson Fury heads the list of British opponents Anthony Joshua wants to meet
And Hearn insists Joshua only wants to face a big name for his comeback bout next year after two world title losses to Oleksandr Usyk.
But he rates a clash with Whyte as the likeliest option after talks to meet unbeaten Tyson Fury broke down.
Hearn told Boxing Social: “If you’re looking at three fights next for which you hope for him to have, maybe you go Dillian Whyte, Wilder, Fury.
“I mean that would be the dream year, but probably one of them would be nice the way everything’s going.
“I do feel that AJ–Wilder is just a massive global heavyweight fight.
“Two titans that the fight could end at any moment. I think it’s a tremendous fight.”
Joshua is still in training despite a December clash with Fury falling through.
And although Hearn claims his man is hungry to meet a household name, AJ has also been called out by Otto Wallin and Chris Arreola.
It could all depend on Whyte beating Jermaine Franklin at Wembley Arena on November 26.
hearn told the DAZN Boxing Show. “Originally the plan was that fight in December if that Tyson Fury fight could get made but now it hasn’t and probably January or February is when it gets made
“Talking to him the other day he wants to fight Dillian Whyte and… Whyte is the front runner if he comes through.
There is the Wilder situation which is definitely a fight he is looking at, and I don’t think he wants to start looking outside of the top ten of the governing bodies.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches are more powerful than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. On the other hand, a straight punch requires less power but it is faster than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers can take many different stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance

Moving your body
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This involves changing position, speed and rhythm.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
