ANTHONY JOSHUA revealed he is closing in on his next fight as he prepares for a Wembley return.
AJ is due to be back in front of the 90,000-seat stadium in September following three fights in Saudi Arabia.
Instead, Saudi’s boxing chief Turki Alalshikh is making his first splash in the British market by promoting Joshua’s homecoming bout.
An announcement looks to be on the way as Joshua posted: “Nearly finished my negotiations for my next fight! Feeling motivated.”
Joshua has twice sold out Wembley for his world title wins over Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin.
He also beat Carlos Takam and Joseph Parker at the 75,000-seat Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
His most recent bouts in the UK have been back at the O2, with wins over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.
They followed on from double defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, 37, who has since beaten Tyson Fury, 35, to become undisputed champion.
And with the pair due to rematch back in Riyadh on December 21, AJ was forced to look elsewhere for an opponent.
Deontay Wilder was in the mix but twice fluffed his lines following defeats to Parker, 32, and Zhilei Zhang, 41.
