Before the loss, Joshua had won four straight over illustrious opponents, including Francis Ngannou, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Jermaine Franklin.

According to Hearn, seven fighters—Martin Bakole, Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang, Agit Kabayel, Daniel Dubois, and Joseph Parker—could be Joshua's next opponent.
