Famous journalist Dan Rafael believes that former world heavyweight champion of the world British Anthony Joshua will hold his next fight against Croatian Filip Hrgovic.
So, he got what he got to fight [Mark] De Mori, which was to get in the ring and protect his #1 position. So, they [the Saudi organizers] definitely have an interest in going forward with him [Hrgovic], and I know they’ve contemplated a price point for a Joshua-Hrgovic fight. So, it’s not going to be a complicated negotiation. I have no doubt in my mind if that fight is something that Joshua is interested in doing, they’ll go forward with that fight. That’s the reason why he fought Otto in the first place.

Joshua last entered the ring against Sweden's Otto Wallin on December 23. Anthony won that fight early as a result of his opponent's refusal to continue the fight. Joshua has 27 wins (24 by knockout) and three losses.
Hrgovic's last fight was against Demsey McKean in August of this year. In this confrontation, Philip won by technical knockout in the 12th round. He has 16 wins (13 by knockout) and no defeats on his record.
