Joshua and Fury will meet in a mega event, which early indications suggest could land in October<\/p>\n

The bout has now been signed by both camps and is set to take place in October with a venue yet to be confirmed.<\/a><\/p>\n

Joshua will have to come through a July warm-up fight<\/a> to set up the clash, in what will be arguably the biggest event of the year.<\/p>\n

Global talent and British fighters will all be vying for a shot on the blockbuster bill, which could land at Wembley Stadium and on Netflix.<\/p>\n

And British heavyweight Clarke, who recently lost to Justis Huni earlier this month, believes he deserves a shot on the bill.<\/p>\n

He told talkSPORT: “It’s out of my hands now, I’m out here pestering people now to get me out again.<\/p>\n

“Anthony Joshua<\/a>‘s warm-up fight in Riyadh, I’d love to be on that undercard in July.<\/p>\n

“Also the big one, the Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury<\/a> undercard, I’d love to be on that one.<\/p>\n

“An undercard slot would go down very nicely. If the right person hears me, get me on it.”<\/p>\n

Clarke has plenty of contact with Joshua during his rise, having trained in the gym with him as an amateur and as a professional.<\/p>\n

He has sparred both Joshua and Fury and has a fan-friendly style, which would likely see organisers interest peaked.<\/p>\n

Clarke believes he should be on either of Joshua’s billsClarke – Fury is favourite right now but don’t count out AJ<\/p>\n

‘Big Fraze’ of course has the best experience available to cast a verdict on the fight.<\/p>\n

Clarke has been a pivotal part of AJ’s rise from Olympic stardom to a gifted two-time world champion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he has also touched gloves with Fury in training and has kept a close eye on recent form.<\/p>\n

He believes that the long-awaited showdown is hard to judge right now, until Joshua makes his comeback this summer.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old said: “Tyson Fury has been very good recently.<\/p>\n

“Coming from that lay-off and performing like that, it was impressive against Makhmudov.<\/p>\n
