Anthony Joshua has hinted he could fight Tyson Fury in September.
AJ is a man on a high these days, having beaten Jermaine Franklin Jr, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou over the past year or so.
Boxing fans are waiting to see if Joshua and Fury will finally fight, however, with many eager for the two Britons to meet in the ring.
A potential bout has been the subject of speculation for years but, in 2024, it could finally become a reality.

And Joshua, speaking to the BBC, has hinted the showdown could take place in September.
"Boxing is changing a lot, there is a new player, Turki Alalshikh, who is taking the world by storm," he said.
"He is doing what he wants for the fans, it's amazing.
"So if the fans demand it, I know that he will deliver.
"I know the fans want me and Fury, I want that.
"I'm not going to give away plans, but he is a man of action. It's coming, most definitely it's coming."
When quizzed further, Joshua then claimed that Turki Alalshikh had told him to be 'ready' for a clash in September.
"To be honest, he said be ready for September," added the 34-year-old.
"Why he said that is because they have got a fight on June 1, all the heavyweights, five vs five, Eddie Hearn vs Frank Warren.
"And they have got Fury vs Usyk in May. And then they will have me in September. It's unbelievable."
For now, however, Fury's focus is on beating Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.
The Gypsy King is eager to prove a point after toiling during his narrow win over Ngannou, which took place in October.
Yet Alexander Krassyuk, Usyk's promoter, is concerned Fury could withdraw - with their bout already the subject of several delays.
"Usyk has actually had a triple camp for this fight,” Krassyuk told BoxingScene.
“He started in September for the fight to take place last December.

"We showed up to the Ngannou fight to step in the ring to announce the fight for the undisputed, but his team jumped and said he didn’t look that good, so Usyk gave him some space to prepare at his camp in Saudi Arabia.
"We were then meant to fight on Feb 17, then we were rescheduled for May.
"Tyson Fury has withdrawn four times already from this fight.
"Remember that we were looking to fight last April; he pulled out of it then, too.
"That’s why we fought Daniel Dubois. This will be the fourth camp we have had for Tyson Fury.

“I’ve not got too much confidence in the rematch happening, by the way. If Tyson Fury loses, will he have the confidence to step inside the ring again?
"Theoretically he can, but we all know what happened in the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.”
