Carl Frampton has urged Anthony Joshua to target a fight with Filip Hrgovic as he waits for the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk series to play out.

Joshua has spent the last year rebuilding following two losses to Usyk and his impressive form has seen him launch himself back into the title picture.

Earlier this month, Joshua wasted little time dispatching Francis Ngannou as he stopped the former UFC superstar in two rounds.

It was thought that Joshua could challenge the winner of Fury vs. Usyk, but with that bout containing rematch stipulations, Frampton has suggested that Joshua looks in a different direction.

“If I’m AJ I think I take a Hrgovic fight,” said Frampton when speaking to TNT Sports. “I think that Hrgovic is made for AJ.

“I think that it’s a very, very winnable fight for AJ. I’d have him as a strong favourite in that fight.

“It keeps a bit of momentum going while he’s waiting. He can’t wait on Usyk and Fury. So, I think take a fight, and hopefully get the winner after.”
