Oleksandr Usyk wants to fight Anthony Joshua.
The Ukrainian powerhouse is recognised as the pound-for-pound king in boxing.
Usyk has cleaned up the cruiserweight division, capturing the WBA (super), IBF, WBC, WBO and The Ring titles.

Picking up belts on the road, whilst collecting the Muhammad Ali Trophy after beating Murat Gassiev in the World Boxing Super Series final.
Usyk returns to the ring against Joshua's stable mate, Tony Bellew.
He defends his cruiserweight throne in Manchester on November 10th. And providing he comes out victorious, a super-fight versus Joshua could potentially be on the cards.

It's a fight Usyk certainly wants.
When asked about facing Joshua, he jokingly pointed towards the ring and said: "What, now?"
"Yes, of course. Yeah. (I would fight him)," he added.
MAKE IT HAPPEN.

If Eddie Hearn fails to secure a fight against the winner of Wilder vs. Fury, then a match-up between Joshua and Usyk could be next on the list even with Dillian Whyte waiting in the wings.
Joshua clearly respects Usyk and reckons he's the 'P4P' best.
"He [Usyk] has all the belts and he's at the highest weight so I'd say him," he said.

"If he moves up correctly, yes. The heavyweights of today's generation are a different kettle of fish than Muhammad Ali.
"We used to be clumsy but now our coordination is good. We can punch and we're strong. So you need to move up at the right stages because it's not just based on skill.
"But but based on your will and how much you can take.
"If he moves up correctly, I know he's had a lot of amateur experience. It will be interesting to see how he does."
