Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua is ready for at least five more fights.
AJ will return to Wembley on September 21 to try and become a three-time champion, where he will challenge for Daniel Dubois’ IBF title.

The incident comes two years after his defeat in a rematch with 37-year-old Oleksandr Usyk, when he lost his bid to regain the unified belts he lost last year.
Joshua, 34, is now preparing for his third fight under the guidance of new coach Ben Davison.
And it looks like this partnership has added a few more fights and years to A.J.’s boxing career.
Hearn told talkSPORT“Everything changes after every fight, but I think I’ve never seen him enjoy boxing so much.
“The preparation, the team. It’s simple but effective. I think he’s really found his rhythm with Ben (Davison) and the camp there.
“And I think if you look back after Oleksandr Usyk’s fights you would have said, ‘How many more fights? Three? Five?’

He added: “It’s a very dangerous fight, but it’s a great fight. And as it gets closer, I think people are starting to realise that.”
“People in boxing know what a great fight this is, but I think the general consensus is, ‘Oh, AJ is a huge favorite.’
“I think he’s the favourite, but if you look at people’s assessments in boxing.
“Obviously, they’re inclined to think it’s 50/50, whereas the guy on the street who’s on the road doesn’t know a lot about DuBois and his run.
“I think they are both in absolute top form, but I think Anthony is the favourite in this fight.”
