Along with a potential super fight with the Gypsy King, AJ is is also keen on getting back in the ring with Wladimir Klitschko following their blockbuster bout.

But despite his devastating victory over Klitschko, Fury remains at the top of the 27-year-old’s hit list.
Joshua told Sky Sports: “In the UK, Tyson Fury. It’s big, it’s interesting, it makes a lot of sense.
“I listen to what people want and I listen to what fighters want. Tyson is making a lot of noise, making it clear he would like to fight me.
“I’ve been patient, after he beat Klitschko hopefully I would have been in line to fight Fury, but he had his own issues so I stayed on my own path.
“Now I’m in a position where I can say, Tyson, when you are back and ready, it is a fight people want to see, so let’s try and make something work and live up to what people want to see.”

Fury has since responded to AJ, saying: “Let’s make this happen.”
But as well as targeting Fury for a fight in the future, the British world champ would love another match against Klitschko.
He added: “In the first fight there wasn’t much trash talking, the press conferences were big, the preparations were big, and the fight lived up to expectations.
“If we could do another fight like that, minus the sixth round [the round Klitschko knocked AJ down], I would love that and it would be entertaining for everybody.”
