UFC legend Conor McGregor has told Anthony Joshua he only has one choice when it comes to picking his next opponent.
The UFC legend was ringside at Wembley on September 21 to watch Joshua in action against Daniel Dubois - and witnessed a beatdown.
Triple D annihilated AJ before knocking him out in the fifth round in a shock result as Dubois retained his IBF heavyweight title.
It has left question marks over Joshua's career after his fourth loss, following a double defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk and shock knockout from Andy Ruiz Jr.

But watching it all was McGregor, who often stole the limelight in the background as he could be seen frequently jumping out of his seat.
Despite his wild capers, the Irishman insisted he did not have a bet on the fight and revealed AJ must fight Dubois again as soon as possible.
“I didn’t bet on the Joshua-Dubois fight,” McGregor told a live stream on Friday evening.
“I thought Dubois and I was correct. He was very relaxed. Sometimes you get fed up, you might get a little bit tired or something. Joshua was almost at that stage.

"Make no mistake, I think what should happen next between Joshua and Dubois is a rematch.
“And stand the ground. Don't even go forward, don't even go back. Stand your ground and meet.
“Joshua has a good, strong jab. He almost came back, and he did hurt him with that before he got caught with the shot.

Whether Joshua fights Dubois again remains to be seen with Dynamite eyeing a potential four-belt undisputed title bout.
The winner of Tyson Fury's rematch against Usyk is set to take the remaining three belts, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on December 21.
Many believe Joshua must face Fury next in an all-British affair - a fight that has been talked about for years but has never got further than that.
