Everyone seems to think a heavyweight superfight between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko will be worth the wait. If it ever happens, that is.
There had been talks of the pair facing off this year with multiple titles at stake after Tyson Fury relinquished his various belts as he receives treatment for mental health issues.
The fight is off for the time being, however, with the Ukrainian laid low by an injury, meaning a number of other contenders are hoping to find themselves in the frame to take on the IBF world champion.
But if it does go ahead, one man thinks it would be the biggest fight in the world. And not just any man – former two-time world heavyweight champion George Foreman.

“That match-up will be the best. It matches the old and the new, the aggressive and the smart,” the 67-year-old told Sky Sports News HQ.
“If it occurs, Klitschko and Joshua, it will be front and back page of the world news.
“The whole world will want to be involved in that one.”
Joshua’s next bout is pencilled in for December 10, with Eric Molina all but confirmed as his opponent.
It will be the British fighter’s 18th career fight and second title defence, and he will be setting out to continue his record of winning each of his bouts via knockout.
34-year-old Molina, meanwhile, has a 25-3 career record with his only reverses this decade coming against Deontay Wilder and Chris Arreola.
