Anthony Joshua, the newly crowned IBF world heavyweight champion, is already preparing for his first title defence.
The 26-year-old, who stopped 'Prince' Charles Martin in the second round to take his IBF title at the O2 Arena in London on April 9, is back in the gym.
His next opponent
is likely to be an America-based fighter as British rival Tyson Fury - the main man in the division - is tied up with a rematch against Wladimir Klitschko in July.
A meeting between Fury and Joshua is almost inevitable down the line but Joshua will first make a defence of his new IBF belt, which was was harshly stripped from Fury soon after his victory over Klitschko.
Potential opponents for the fight, which is expected to be at The O2 on June 25, include Haiti-born Bermane Stiverne, who took the unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder 12 rounds last year, and Philadelphia's Bryant Jennings.
