Lennox Lewis suggests that for Anthony Joshua to reclaim his former status, he must face either Tyson Fury or Zhilei Zhang in his upcoming bouts.
Anthony Joshua achieved another milestone in his journey towards resurgence by successfully halting Otto Wallin‘s momentum in the fifth round of their bout.
Yet, during this pivotal moment, the prospect of an AJ vs Deontay Wilder fight was thwarted.
The American powerhouse found himself outmaneuvered by Joseph Parker, resulting in a unanimous decision loss.

Lewis reveals to TNT Sports:
“I couldn’t really judge with this fight if he’s back or not.
He definitely looked good. He did what he was supposed to do, go out there and take out a guy you’ve taken out in fights before.
“The guy didn’t have any definition in his body.
I don’t know if he worked hard or if he was in training camp or whatever, and I didn’t see him throwing any punches that actually connected,
because AJ looked good after the fight, like a movie star, like he wasn’t even in a fight.
“I think it does good for his mental state, everybody saying he’s back, but there’s still a long road ahead, and some hard fighters.’
“He’s still got to go up against Tyson Fury – if that fight’s going to be made.
I think that’s going to be a great fight for him.
Zhang from China would be a great fight for him as well. There’s a couple of guys out there still wandering around.’
“I think for this particular fight, he did well.”
