Anthony Josuha has been warned by boxing promoter, Frank Warren, not to fight Oleksander Usyk again.
Joshua was dethroned as the IBF, WBO and IBO world heavyweight champion by Usyk on Saturday night.
Warren described Joshua as “damaged goods” after his defeat, but believes a fight with Tyson Fury who he promotes, is still possible.
Joshua has already confirmed he will trigger his contractual right to a rematch with Usyk, most likely in February or March in the UK.
But Warren told Sportsmail: “He shouldn’t go anywhere near Usyk – he will never beat him.
“In terms of fighting Tyson Fury, it can happen. Joshua losing has taken away the belts and he is damaged goods now. But people would still buy into that fight. It can happen and it can happen in the UK.
“But he shouldn’t have a rematch with Usyk. I wouldn’t even think about it if I was him.”
