Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are on a 'collision course' ahead of the Gypsy King's blockbuster clash with Oleksandr Usyk next weekend.
That's according to former boxing star David Price, who would love to see a showdown finally take place after years of speculation.
Fury, if he beats Usyk, is likely to face Joshua later this year.
AJ was written off by many after previously losing to the Ukrainian but, after winning his last four fights, is now a man very much on the up once more.

Price, speaking exclusively to GB News via Grosvenor Sport, believes a fight between the two Britons 'needs' to take place.
And he also said Fury and Joshua have been on a 'collision course' for so long.
"We need to see that fight," he said.
"It seems like another lifetime ago when I was fighting.
"I had my last one five years ago nearly, it’s like a different place now and seems like such a long time ago.
"The fact that Tyson Fury broke out just before me and is still there doing it, it seems like he’s been around forever.
"As a pro boxer he has had a long career, and AJ’s not far behind, three years or whatever behind.
"You really can’t knock what they have both achieved, but they need to fight each other.
"They’ve both been in this collision course for that long and both have been at the top level for that long, it would be a crime if they didn’t fight each other.
"I think it will be the biggest British fight of all time and the richest fight of all time.
"The two heavyweights at the top of the game, you can probably argue that Tyson Fury will be on the decline because he's a little bit older, AJ looked like he was on the decline, but he started performing again the way he used to."
Fury's focus for the time being is on beating Usyk, however.
It is the biggest test of his career and the 35-year-old has a point to prove after struggling against Francis Ngannou back in October.
Fury was knocked down in round three but ended up winning the fight via split decision.
And Price thinks the difficulty Fury had with Ngannou will be playing on his mind ahead of his return to the ring.

"What happened in the last fight will have played a part in in what's going on with this fight," he said.
"The Ngannou fight was as bad as a defeat for Tyson Fury, in a lot of people's eyes, and probably in his heart.
"It has probably taken some doing to get himself back in the right frame of mind, you know?

"His pride was hurt after the fight, and he’d been on top for so long before that, it would have been a bit of a shock to the system, but it's about getting back on the horse mentally and emotionally.
"Even though he won the fight, I do believe his confidence would have taken a hit.
"So, you know, I think the fight's going to go ahead."
