Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has been called out by rival, Joseph Parker, with the two heavyweights looking to rebuild their careers.
Parker makes his return to the ring on January 21 against Jack Massey, on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr’s fight with Liam Smith.
It comes after the New Zealander was knocked out by Joe Joyce in their thriller last September. Joyce became only the third man to beat Parker behind Joshua and Dillian Whyte.
And the former WBO champion is eyeing revenge against his British rivals after returning against Massey in Manchester.
He told Sky Sports, “I would love to fight Dillian Whyte again, I think that first fight (we had) was very exciting and again on that day, he was the winner and he got the better of me. There wasn’t a lot in it. If I can get a good win over Jack, that could be next.
“David Higgins, my manager, sent a message to Matchroom to ask if Joshua needed a fight but we got no reply back.
“He’s got to fight someone. I know he’s looking for a trainer or working with a few trainers in America but if AJ wants a fight, let me finish Jack off, if you’re looking for a fight, come to me.
“Dillian Whyte, if you’re looking for a fight, I’m available, after I take care of Jack.
“Even Joe Joyce, if you want another fight and no one wants to fight you, let’s go again. I don’t really care. I have no worries about fighting anyone.”
