The World Boxing Council has said it would accept Anthony Joshua to face the winner of the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
Mauricio Sulaiman, President of World Boxing Council said this in an interview.
Fury and Usyk go head-to-head on May 18 in Saudi Arabia for all the belts with a possible rematch later in the year.
Joshua who knocked out former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou last weekend will be waiting for the winner.
“The WBC was presented a sanction request which was to fight for the undisputed. The WBC accepted that sanctioning and we accepted the rematch they have requested,” Sulaiman told Sky Sports.
“But, if it is not anything to do with contractual or promotion, we would absolutely accept the winner to fight Joshua.
“The WBC position right now is very open to support the undisputed champion taking on the fights that the fans want to see.”
