Anthony Joshua is pursuing a fight with Tyson Fury in 2025 as he vows to continue boxing after his loss to Daniel Dubois in September.
Former world heavyweight champion Joshua was knocked out in the fifth round by fellow Briton Dubois at Wembley Stadium after suffering his fourth career defeat.
However, the 35-year-old does not appear to be considering retirement and is hoping for a much-anticipated showdown with Fury, who was recently beaten for the second time in Saudi Arabia by Oleksandr Usyk.

“2025, I'm targeting Tyson Fury,” Joshua said on his way to meet Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.
Referring to the Dubois fight, he added, “It makes me hungry, it makes me work harder. Time is of the essence, time is limited, so I just want to put in more work.
“Looking back, I believe I could have done more in 2024. I have another chance in 2025 to do more and I will try to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.

Sky Sports' Andy Scott, Barry Jones and Barry Smith discuss whether Joshua is still the face of British boxing
“I should have won, but I didn't and I'm going again.
“My life is up and down so I have to get used to the turbulent times and keep riding the wave.
“I can't stop now. I have to keep going until I reach my destination.”
I'm talking to Sky Sports following Fury's loss to Usyk on December 21, Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, said, “It's definitely the only fight for Fury and other than the Dubois rematch, it's obviously the only fight for AJ.
“Has there ever been a better time? Both face defeats, both at the end of their careers.
“One at Wembley, one in Riyadh, two fights in 2025.”
