Anthony Joshua could leapfrog Deontay Wilder into a £250m clash with Tyson Fury because of the fall-out from the coronavirus lockdown.
Both British fighters’ next bouts have been postponed because of the pandemic has KO’d boxing and Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum claims it is possible the two Brits could be matched up as a result.
Joshua was supposed to fight the IBF’s mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20 but that has been pushed back due to COVID-19.
And Arum cannot see WBC king Fury’s trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder happening in the US because of Donald Trump’s travel ban.
