If successful in both of those bouts, there are five opponents on Joshua\u2019s mind for 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Since an unsuccessful attempt to dethrone Daniel Dubois and become a three-time heavyweight world champion in September 2024, Joshua has appeared only once; banking six rounds in a <a href=\"https:\/\/boxingnewsonline.net\/news\/paul-verdict-on-joshua-power-after-ko\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gimmick fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, \u2018AJ\u2019 is back amongst the chasing pack, keen to remind fight fans of his pedigree and power, beginning with a July \u2018tune-up\u2019 against Prenga, who is expected to pose little threat ahead of a showdown with \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 in November.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ringmagazine\/video\/7646829101201804558?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ring Magazine<\/a>, Joshua highlighted five \u2018massive fights\u2019 that he is eyeing up after his feud with Fury is settled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith me and Fury, it can\u2019t be the only one [left], because I know that if I stay around long enough there is a rematch with [Daniel] Dubois, there is a potential Fabio [Wardley] fight, there is the Agit [Kabayel] fight out there, provided he becomes champion, I like how big that would be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is the [Moses] Itauma fight, as he is coming up the rankings, there is still the [Deontay] Wilder fight out there. These are going to be massive fights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFury is just another number and I am trying to say that I don\u2019t put him on no pedestal, he ain\u2019t above no-one, they are all in my way, all on the same level.
