British heavyweight Anthony Joshua says that he would like to fight in Las Vegas at some point in his career.

British heavyweight Anthony Joshua has said that he is keen to feature in a fight in Las Vegas at some point in his career.

The IBF champion has fought at London's O2 Arena on his last four appearances in the ring but promoter Eddie Hearn has previously stated that he wants to see the Olympic gold medallist make his Stateside debut sooner rather than later, and the 26-year-old is happy to oblige.

Joshua told Sky Sports News: "The two things I hear - when are you fighting Tyson Fury? And when are going to Vegas?

"When I look at Ricky Hatton, he was unbelievable taking thousands and thousands of people over to America. So if the opportunity comes, and it works for everyone, 100% [I will fight in Vegas]."

Joshua has won all of his 16 bouts as a professional inside the distance.
