Oleksandr Usyk from ringside, putting his name on the agenda \u2013 but will he face the winner?<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of an all-British, multiple-belt title fight between AJ and Fury under the arch at Wembley has been touted for years, but it still remains unclear as to whether that showdown will ever materialise.<\/p>\n<p>Movement on the Fury-Usyk front will thaw the heavyweight division out of its current freeze, and Joshua\u2019s presence in Riyadh will inevitably add spice to the pot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/radiotimes.com\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you all the details about whether

Usyk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Anthony Joshua is highly unlikely to fight the winner of Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk in 2024<\/strong> due to a rematch clause between the latter two fighters.<\/p>\n<p>The loser of Fury and Usyk has a contractual right to trigger a rematch, expected to go ahead in October 2024 barring any unforeseen circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Joshua is likely to be denied a shot at Fury \u2013 or a third crack at Usyk \u2013 until 2025 at the earliest.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, the British fighter told talkSPORT: \u201cWe\u2019re on the same page and he\u2019s on the same page as the fans as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s trying to deliver what the fans want, I know they want that big fight with Tyson Fury and he\u2019s working on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Fury\u2019s got his obligations with Oleksandr Usyk, so I\u2019ve gotta make sure I stay focused and disciplined, keep steamrolling through opponents so I can get closer and closer to having the opportunity of me versus Tyson Fury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AJ is set to fight in September, with Deontay Wilder, Filip Hrgovi\u0107, Daniel Dubois and Zhilei Zhang on
