Anthony Joshua soared further into global boxing stardom with a thrilling 11th-round stoppage victory over the great Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley on Saturday night.

The 27-year-old added the WBA belt to his IBF title to become the number one target for the rest of the world's heavyweight talent.

Here, we looks at five potential opponents for his next fight while we have the Sky Bet odds on him beating them...

Anthony Joshua v Deontay Wilder?


Sky Bet odds: Joshua 4/11, Wilder 2/1 (Draw 28/1)

A fight between Joshua and America's WBC heavyweight champion Wilder, 31, would likely prove the richest in the heavyweight division. The combination of two charismatic, explosive punchers would appeal both in the UK and the US, but may have such commercial potential that they would choose to delay until next summer. Wilder was ringside at Wembley, but has also been linked to fighting Tony Bellew.

Anthony Joshua v Joseph Parker?


Sky Bet odds: Joshua 1/20, Parker 8/1 (Draw 28/1)

New Zealand's WBO champion Parker carries less threat and appeal than Wilder but also represents less of a risk. The 25-year-old had been scheduled to fight Tyson Fury's cousin Hughie until injury ruled the challenger out, and is one of only two fighters against which a unification match-up could be made.

Anthony Joshua v Wladimir Klitschko rematch?


Sky Bet odds: Joshua 1/4, Klitschko 11/4 (Draw 28/1)

The 41-year-old has already revealed he has a rematch clause he can take advantage of, and that only another showdiown with Joshua is capable of convincing him to fight on. Joshua has also already said he would be willing to fight the Ukrainian again, but beyond financial gain there seems little benefit for the champion. Having already beaten him so entertainingly, Klitschko represents a high-risk, low-reward opponent.

Anthony Joshua v Tyson Fury?


Sky Bet odds: Joshua 8/13, Fury 6/5 (Draw 28/1)

Immediately after his defeat of Klitschko, Joshua called out the fighter who is quickly becoming his biggest rival. The 28-year-old Fury unsurprisingly responded on Twitter, writing "challenge accepted". Both seem confident of victory and willing to fight each other, both have beaten Klitschko and both represent the other's most intriguing opponent within the UK. Fury's biggest challenge could yet come in regaining his boxing licence amid his struggles with depression.
