Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has insisted he will push for a blockbuster fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua next.
While the two Britons have big fights up in the coming weeks, Alalshikh was keen to affirm that neither result would matter.
Joshua will take to the ring this month when he faces Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title in Saudi Arabia on September 21.
While Fury faces Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch after the Gypsy King lost his unbeaten streak in professional boxing earlier this year in May.

He lost his WBC heavyweight title in the process but could win it back against the Ukrainian when they meet again on December 15.
If both Britons are successful, they will likely then face each other in 2025 in one of the most long-awaited boxing battles in recent history.

“First of all, Dubois has a very big chance and it is not easy. I think it is a difficult fight for Joshua and a dangerous fight for Joshua.
“If Usyk wins, still I want to see Fury vs Joshua if they accept. I will not try to do the third fight [between Usyk and Joshua] before having Fury vs Joshua.
