 Although Anthony Joshua was reluctant about Tyson Fury's name being mentioned, it is the "only fight" that will satisfy public demand, according to Sky Sportsexpert Carl Froch.

Joshua won his WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles by knocking out Kubrat Pulev in round 9. To keep on track for a huge clash with WBC king Fury

The unified champion demanded less talk and more action after his win, and asked his supporters to vote for their favorite fighter for the next fight.

Froch asked Joshua why he didn't call out Fury. He replied Sky Sports, "The only concern that I have is that you said it there. It was said by Eddie Hearn, but Anthony Joshua did not say it. He almost refused to say it.

"I don’t know why he wouldn’t say, ‘That’s the one.'

Johnny Nelson, a fellow Sky Sports expert, replied: "He kinda did answer it. He replied that Tyson Fury was the next man to come along.

Eddie Hearn, Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn, insisted that he wants the Joshua vs Fury fight to be "straightaway" and Froch believes that the British rivals should finally meet in the near-future.

Froch stated that Tyson Fury is "the only thing left for him"

"It's sort of the only fight the crowd will accept, and it's what the people want."

"It's almost as if ancient Rome was in the Colosseum when the crowd has spoken. Fans who follow Anthony Joshua want to see Tyson Fury fight.

"He has Oleksandr Usyk to the WBO mandatory, that is an option.

"There are still questions. Are Tyson Fury's thoughts on Tyson Fury?

"Eddie Hearn stated there, 'Tomorrow we're calling the phone. We are fighting that battle.

Let's hope it does, but that is the fight we must see now.

Others will no doubt be convinced that they can steal 2019's show. These are the experts our panel is most excited to see next year... Johnny Nelson Jordan Gill has been a great friend of mine. He's the sweet science behind boxing. He is not a boxer who can bang, but he is a beautiful fighter. People want bang, bang, wallop in today's world, but Jordan Gill is for those who love sweet science. Josh Kelly, who is also technically class, is another one I like.

  Carl Froch says Dillian Whyte, who beat Oscar Rivas in heavyweight boxing, is one of the "most fearsome men in heavyweight" Whyte took to the floor against Rivas in order to win a unanimous decision, handing the dangerous Colombian his first loss of his professional career. He won the WBC interim title and the mandatory status to the belt currently held by Deontay wilder. Froch stated that Froch is slowly becoming one the most fearful heavyweight boxers because no one wants to take him one. He's becoming a solid, experienced professional. He is able to mix it up with Oscar Rivas when there are big hooks flying both directions, and he is relaxed. He didn't have it all his way. Dillian Whyte gave a solid performance all around, including the uppercut. "He is a worthy world champion now, and I am certain he will." Fellow fighter-turned-pundit Tony Bellew added: "He boxed brilliantly at times. He was strong and had a long, strong jab. Rivas was hurt early

He was dropped three times, and was forced to retire after eight rounds. After his 24th defeat, the fighter from Cambridgeshire revealed that he had decided to fight in Nottingham after being diagnosed with food poisoning. "Jordan Gill could've outboxed him. He looked smart and good. Froch stated Sky Sports that he could have outboxed Gill, and that he looked slick and good. "Unfortunately, it's not well. He has come out and stated that he is not well. This has taken away his energy and impacted his performance. He is only 24 so he has a chance to correct that mistake. "He has looked great up to this point, and I'm certain he will return. He took a lot heavy shots, so that's a very bad loss. He was put to the ground a few times. He was clipped on his chin. "In round thr
