Anthony Joshua if it were offered to him. Cousin and gymmate of division kingpin Tyson Fury, 21-year-old Hughie headlines his first bill when he fights Fred Kassi on April 30,with a win granting him a spot in the WBO’s top five.In this week’s Boxing News, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn states that they would consider Hughie for Anthony’s first title defence, butdoubts Team Fury would take the fight, a claim Hughie refutes.“That’s not the case. Let them offer it. I’d take that in a heartbeat. If they want the fight, get in touch,” he told us. Joshua won the IBF title – which was stripped from Tyson last year –from American Charles Martin, who he knocked out in two rounds at the weekend [April 9].
