He now needs to face American ace, Deontay Wilder, to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis.
And promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that talks have started between the two heavyweights.
Wilder, who boasts a record of 40-0, affirmed that he is willing to put his WBC belt on the line against Joshua.
Despite initial controversy, the American heavyweight is willing to agree on terms of a 60/40 purse and will fight in the UK.
