Anthony Joshua has announced when and where he will make the second defence of his IBF world heavyweight title, with the boxer travelling north this time.
Build up starts! I train & let the businessmen do their part! Scheduled to fight in Manchester on 26th Nov & can't wait! It's all I know

Fans are excited to see the champion in action in Manchester, which is something of a departure from London, where Joshua has fought before.

But who might the fight be against?
@anthonyfjoshua will be a good one, but who is it against?

Some reckon they know a few possible opponents.
I was told Kubrat Pulev or Joseph Parker are the 2 names in frame for Anthony Joshua on Nov 26. Either would be a notable step up #boxing

But whoever it is, will they be able to stop Joshua from continuing his journey to the top?
