Boxing megastar Anthony Joshua is reported to sign a massive three-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh, as part of the Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia. The deal is rumored to include two high-profile clashes against Tyson Fury and then a third bout against either Dillian Whyte or Jared Anderson.

Joshua aims to bounce back from his fifth-round knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium last year. The Englishman was knocked down four times during the bout and eventually got counted out in the fifth round.

Boxing fans around the globe have long awaited to witness the all-British showdown between Joshua and Tyson. The potential deal with Alalshikh could present Joshua with the opportunity to reestablish himself among the elite heavyweights.
