Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has a dream scenario to make out his next three fights.

The first on the list is already scheduled, a rematch with Dillian Whyte on August 12 at the O2 Arena in London. Joshua had previously stopped Whyte in seven rounds in December of 2015.

Joshua had hoped to face WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, but that didn't happen.

"I'm not disappointed. That's just the reality that we live in. That's the reality," Joshua told Sky Sports.

"Unfortunately it didn't happen, but I'm not disappointed because we know why. People are starting to see. This is just how boxing goes sometimes. People are just...it's just a shame. But it is what it is, none of my business. If that was me, I would have gone in there and fought, but it's not me so I can't really comment on another man's decisions.

Should Joshua win next month, he wants to finalize a grudge match with former champion Deontay Wilder - which is targeted to take place on a December date in Saudi Arabia.

Jsohua's layout would see him face Whyte, Wilder and then Fury in the first half of 2024.

"Yeah, it would be [dream scenario be Whyte, Wilder, and then Fury]. But dreams are fake. This is reality," Joshua said.

Joshua is now training with veteran coach Derrick James.

The British star is now preparing in Texas and branded James as "a serious trainer."

"What I meant by that is, just make sure you're ready to work when you come to the gym," Joshua explained to Sky Sports.

"Like he knows what his standards are. He's called his gym World Class Boxing Gym. What a name! He's got a standard, and it's challenging. Yeah, he's a serious guy. Very serious guy. I did what I had to do, but earlier there was a period where I was trying different coaches and ended up fighting a good fighter in Usyk during that trial and error phase, but everything is for a reason in this universe, so I've got to trust my process."
