Two-division world champion, Ricky Hatton, has named the opponent he believes Anthony Joshua should be lining up after Otto Wallin – and it’s not Deontay Wilder.
Joshua is continuing his journey to reclaim a heavyweight title, after losing his belts to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021. Since then, he has defeated both Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius and is now poised for a tougher test against Wallin on December 23.
Should he come through that test, the expectancy is that he will then finally face Wilder or alternatively challenge Filip Hrgovic for the IBF world title.
However, Hatton told Betting Sites that he should instead be eyeing up Francis Ngannou, who lost out to Tyson Fury via split-decision last month.
Eddie Hearn has said that he is open to making Joshua-Ngannou, in a bout billed as ‘Rumble in the Jungle 2’.
