I'll beat Chisora and Fury-Joshua

Anthony Joshua says he is ready for a domestic showdown with either Tyson Fury or Dereck Chisora, but would prefer to fight former heavyweight world champion David Haye.

A summer clash between Joshua and Fury has been mooted by promoter Eddie Hearn, although the fight's chances could hinge on whether Vladimir Klitschko honours Fury's status as mandatory challenger for his WBO title.

Unbeaten Joshua has won all of his 10 professional bouts by stoppage and, having watched Fury defeat Chisora at London's Excel Arena last weekend, admitted he is ready for a step-up.

"Fury controlled Chisora very well, which shows that he can beat an opponent of that calibre," Joshua said. "If he has to dig deep, I'm sure he's got way more in the locker. I'm not saying Chisora is washed up either. If he was to fight me, I think he'd gather up all his hunger again.”

Joshua next faces Kevin Johnson at London's O2 Arena on January 31 in what will be a stiffer test; the American has never been knocked out and took Vitali Klitschko, Fury and Chisora the full 12 rounds. ESPN
