Anthony Joshua insists his mega clash with Tyson Fury is not the defining fight of this era.
Joshua and Fury will finally deliver their long-awaited clash in November, with both men having signed their contracts.
The pair have been linked to a bout for the best part of a decade, but until now their clash has failed to materialise.
Despite the huge anticipation surrounding their match-up, ‘AJ’ insists it’s not the decisive fight of his career, with plenty of other bouts potentially on the horizon.
“No [it’s not the defining fight of this era],” the 36-year-old said on Mr Verzace Podcast.
“Because there’s a lot more fights to happen.
“A lot more big fights.
“It’s one of the defining fights of this era, because with me and Fury, it can’t be the only one.
“Because I know if I stay around long enough, there’s a rematch with [Daniel] Dubois, there’s a potential Fabio [Wardley] fight, there’s an Agit [Kabayel] fight out there providing he becomes champion.
“There’s a [Moses] Itauma fight as he’s coming up the rankings.
“There’s still the [Deontay] Wilder fight out there.
“These are going to be massive fights.
“Fury is just another number. I don’t put him on no pedestal. He ain’t above no-one.
“They’re all in my way.”

Before facing ‘The Gypsy King’, Joshua will first fight Albania’s Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Saudi Arabia.
The bout marks the Londoner’s first since a sixth round knockout of Jake Paul in December.
10 days after stopping the YouTuber-turned-boxer, ‘AJ’ was involved in a horror car crash in Nigeria, which killed two of his close friends and left him with minor injuries.
Fury is set to fight again himself before facing his long-time rival, with a date of August 1 in Dublin mooted.
