Anthony Joshua outlines his plans for the remainder of the year

Anthony Joshua is happy to take on allcomers as he sets about his task of making his challengers look "rubbish."

The IBF world heavyweight champion (17-0-KO17) has rarely been stretched during a serene rise to the top of the sport, with British rival Dillian Whyte and recent American opponent Dominic Breazeale the only men to take him past six rounds.

When quizzed on his next target, Joshua told Sky Sports News HQ: "There's no one lined up currently but I'm sure they're looking at the horizon and lining up some serious contenders.

"I don't actually mind [who it is]. Anyone really. I don't have anybody specific that I dislike or need to fight. It's all part of the longer journey. My job is to make them look rubbish and make them look easy.

"It has to be [in this country]. This is the hot property right now and we've got about 13 champions in the UK so everyone wants to be here fighting.

"I want to get out in November. I want to watch these guys in the Olympics and then get back in intense training and start preparing for my next fight."
