LONDON - Anthony Joshua has insisted he remains among the world's leading heavyweights ahead of his return to the ring next weekend.

The 33-year-old will be bidding for his first win since 2020 after successive defeats by Oleksandr Usyk saw the former Olympic champion lose, and then fail to regain, several versions of the world heavyweight title.But his confidence remains intact and when asked who he thinks are the best heavyweights currently in world boxing, Joshua replied Saturday:"Usyk, Fury and myself.

He added: It is all about who you fight as well. Rankings are important but you need to fight the big names as well." The collapse of that bout, however, could pave the way for a 'Battle of Britain' contest, with Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn saying he would be prepared to speak with Fury's management should all go well for his man against Franklin.
