Anthony Joshua aims to unify heavyweight belts and become undisputed champion of the world in 2018

The Telegraph  

Anthony Joshua will attempt to unify the heavyweight titles and become undisputed champion of the world in 2018, with promoter Eddie Hearn planning on three contests next year. First, Joshua, who holds the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation titles, must come through the challenge of late replacement Carlos Takam on Saturday in Cardiff. If he manages that, he is likely to target Joseph Parker, the New Zealander who holds the World Boxing Organisation crown, followed by a blockbuster battle with American Deontay Wilder, the World Boxing Council champion, who defends his belt in New York on Nov 5 for the sixth time. “I want to unify all the titles and fight all the champions by the end of 2018,” explained Joshua, who also has Tyson Fury on his radar, late next year, although the Lancastrian is currently suspended.
