ANTHONY JOSHUA’S second IBF heavyweight title defence has been confirmed for December 10 at the Manchester Arena against Eric Molina.

But Joshua could potentially box former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next year. The odds on that happening are below:

Betway’s Alan Alger, said: “Looking past the Molina fight, punters have been happy to take the 1/5 that Klitschko is Joshua’s first opponent in the new year.

“David Haye needs a belt before AJ’s sucked into that fight, while Joshua is 9/2 to be lured into a bout with Price before any other in 2017.

“Brook-Khan would be a lively contest and the betting suggests the possibility of that fight hangs in the balance. We go 4/7 it goes ahead in 2017 and 5/4 it doesn’t.”
