Anthony Joshua stated that he is demanding a unification fight with Deontay Wilder followed by a clash with heavyweight new comer and former unified cruiser-weight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

May will be a massive month for boxing as it sees Wilder take on Dominic Breazeale on May 18 followed by Usyk's heavyweight debut against Carlos Takam a week later, in addition to boxing's biggest star Canelo Alvarez taking on Danny Jacobs.

The 2012 Olympic champion says the heavyweight pision is full of talent, but is clear about who he wants fight next if he can get past big-punching Miller on his US debut.

Joshua told Sky Sports News: "It's really good because we've got me and Miller, Wilder vs Breazeale, (Tyson) Fury vs (Tom) Schwarz, Dillian Whyte is going to do something, Usyk vs Takam.

Usyk is expected to turn out to be the heavyweight pision's biggest new comer as he wiped the cruiserweight pision slate clean, defeating it's biggest stars like Tony Bellew before deciding to move up the pision.
