    Anthony Joshua will attempt to defend his IBF world heavyweight title at the Manchester Arena on 26 November.

    Unbeaten Joshua, 26, defended his title for the first time with a seventh-round knockout of American Dominic Breazeale in June, having won the belt against Charles Martin in two rounds in April.

    The British boxer's opponent will be named on 26 September.

    "I can't wait to get back up north," said Joshua, who beat Konstantin Airich in Manchester in his eighth pro bout.

    "I have been inspired over the summer by the fighters in the Olympics. It has given me a new perspective and huge hunger to get back in ring."

    Who do we think he'll fight? Personally, I'd like to see him fight Wilder but I think he'll fight Parker.

    Ah good another boxing fan, Parker is the official contender so he'll do that.. I'd be more worried about a very dangerous looking Wilder but he'll probably take on the Wlad vs Fury winner.. if Fury defends it should be a Lewis vs Bruno "Battle of Britain"..

    Some people are saying Joshua needs more fights before he faces someone like Wilder. I'm wondering where Haye comes into it. Surely he would want to fight either Joshua or the winner of Wlad vs. Fury?

    Joshua vs Martin... <laugh>

    Nah, I'm kidding. I'm only 19 but I've seen the full fight of Thrilla in Manila on YouTube and I'd probably say that's my favourite.

    He'll be fighting Pulev i think.

    Rumour of Price vs Parker on the undercard.

    It is but I think he'll be horribly knocked out. He's got no chin.

    Always a punchers chance of course.

    Haye has to earn those fights, you can't just come back from years out and expect to fight the best.
