ANTHONY JOSHUA is set to face former amateur rival Dillian Whyte in September before a clash with fellow Olympic medallist David Price.
The 25-year-old London 2012 gold medallist sparked out Raphael Zumbano Love in two rounds on Saturday night and will take on durable Kevin Johnson on May 30.
Johnson is expected to give the heavyweight sensation more of a test than he has had in his previous 12 wins when they meet at O2 Arena.

Joshua vs Whyte
A fight with Whyte would be interesting.Whyte can punch.
He is no hype job.He has been sparring with Fury and Johnson.
He has been doing the hard yards.
If Joshua underestimates him
He will get knocked out.
He is still fighting a few levels below contemder level, he really needs to fight better opposition before stepping up to challenge for a title next year as hoped.
Price is a paper jawed phoney who has no business in the ring with legitimate contenders, he is the Amir Khan of the heavies.
Although I like these match ups, I'd hoped to see him moved along quicker to th next level as opposed to waiting for 2016 before he begins to face credible opponents who can at least pose him some questions. Johnson will give him rounds, how many is uncertain, I'm expecting a UK TKO stoppage special, though I really want him to stop him legitimately as he'd really have the wind in his sails and I expect Price to pass on Joshua and target somebody a level below Joshua such as Tyson Fury or Dereck Chisora.he gets past all these guys he will be fighting contenders. Although I see you don't like Fury or Chisora. Fury is a contender & chisora is no bum. He is just shop worn now after all those tough fights. I still put AJ behind those guys because AJ hasn't even been tested yet. Let's see how he does vs kingpin, whyte & price if that's how the order goes...
I can't complain about Gavern, Zambano Love, Kingpin, Whyte then david price all in one year. Good job by his handlers. If he wins all these fights he will be ready for prime time next year. the dillian whyte & david price fights are very interesting because they can both punch hard. I'd like to see AJ's chin tested.

You have no idea about boxing Johshua is a hype job and Whyte will expose him
I see you only joined Boxingscene.com in 2013 so you might be about 15 ?
That seems about right for you knowledge
Why is he a hype job? And what has Whyte done to prove he would beat him?
Hearn been posting some interesting tweets about Wilder today :
Eddie Hearn @EddieHearn
Wilder defending his title against Eric Molina next.In Molina's last fight he stopped Zumabo Love (AJ's last oppo) in 8th and final round
Eddie Hearn @EddieHearn
Re my last tweet nothing wrong with Wilder v Molina..just an interesting stat re common opponents
Eddie Hearn @EddieHearn
Here is another one for you..in Deontay Wilder's 32nd fight (the fight before Stiverne), he faced Jason Gavern.Joshua fought him in his 11th
The Whyte fight brings a bit of history and needle. I think Joshua wins both easily enough. Price, as always, brings a punchers chance as long as he is willing to open up.
Price has a heck of a punch and AJ doesn't get him early, with his limited experience, Price can land some bombs and get Joshua out of there. I think he takes the extremely limited Whyte.
The upcoming Johnson fight should not be taken lightly, it's a very interesting test for AJ, against a guy who is a smart defensive fighter.

As I understand it the British title has been vacated by Tyson Fury, which would be a nice incentive for a Joshua/Whyte contest.
Is that official ? He was on record stating he wasnt vacating about a fortnight ago, telling would be British title hunters to come and get it lol. Same old story with this guy, all hot air. Stop kidding your own fans and fight a competitive fight. This chump better go through with the Klitschko fight.

Good fights. Both are much more capable offensively than any AJ has fought (or is sheduled to fight) and both would come to win.
Hopefully its not just hot air
