Joe Joyce will face winner of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk after being named as mandatory challenger for WBO heavyweight title... and the Arsenal fan is eyeing a potential Battle of Britain showdown at the Emirates

Joe Joyce has been named as the mandatory challenger for the WBO heavyweight title and he already has his eyes on Arsenal's Emirates Stadium hosting the fight against either Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk.

It was confirmed late on Tuesday afternoon that Joshua will put his four title belts - the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO - on the line on September 25 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against mandatory challenger Usyk.

And a potential Battle of Britain is now in store, after Joyce's promoter Frank Warren confirmed the 35-year-old is now the WBO's new mandatory challenger to face the winner of Joshua or Usyk.
