Joshua says he is prepared to fight Dillian Whyte next year

Anthony Joshua says he is prepared to fight old rival Dillian Whyte on his return to action next year.

Joshua is considering his potential next opponents after losing a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in August.

Joshua, who beat Whyte in 2015, says Swede Otto Wallin and Croat Filip Hrgovic are also options.

Whyte and Joshua's rivalry has endured over the years, with both men repeatedly saying they are open to a rematch.

Whyte is also looking to bounce back from defeat by Tyson Fury on 26 November when he fights American Jermaine Franklin in London.

Joshua is recovering from his third defeat and the first successive loss of his career.
