The first half of 2023 will see the return of Anthony Joshua following his two losses to unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
With the British boxing superstar looking to get back to winning ways, the choice of opponent will be crucial, but that hasn't stopped numerous heavyweights throwing their hat in the ring for what would be a career-high pay day.
One of those is Australian southpaw Demsey McKean who revealed to Sky Sports that talks about a potential fight have taken place and is confident that he can bring the curtain down on Joshua's career.
"We are one of the frontrunners for a possible opponent for Anthony Joshua," McKean said.
"I could be (the man to retire Joshua) and I am very confident I can do that. But don't get me wrong, there is still more fights for AJ. If he loses to me, a top-10 heavyweight as well, that shouldn't be the end."
McKean also had plenty of praise for Joshua and believes that the Olympic gold medalist does not get the credit he deserves for what he has done for the heavyweight division.
"People probably don't give him the credit he deserves, what he has done for the heavyweight game. He has brought a lot of eyes and money into the heavyweight division.
"He is probably the biggest name in boxing, everyone is after him, including me. It is the name to have on your resume. There are still fights to be made and people are still going to pay to watch those fights.
"But three losses in a row, does he need to keep doing this? He is well set up now?"
