The 34-year-old believes Joshua should still be in top shape, after coming out a 12-round fight and requested for his offer to be accepted within the next few months, to enable the Organisers fix a date for the bout this year.

Some fans see it as a misnomer since each of the Governing bodies have mandatory Fighters on the line in contention for a Title shot, especially as the boxers will have been triumphant in recent times.

Meanwhile, there are yet to be confirmed reports on the fitness of Usyk. Reports coming out from his camp suggests he is injured and may be out for a while.
