Joshua won the fight at Wembley
via a seventh round knockout, retaining his world heavyweight titles in the process.
In the time since, many have speculated who the IBF, WBO and WBA champion will fight next, with Fury, Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte all possible opponents.
Joshua used his Twitter account to ask followers to vote on which fight they'd most like to see happen next.

Presumably, this didn't go down too well with Fury, who Joshua revealed had blocked him on the social media platform soon after.
'Why so serious,' Joshua tweeted, along with an image which showed Fury had blocked him from viewing his tweets.

Fury reacted to Joshua's win over Povetkin by saying he felt the chances of a the pair facing each other were now all but over.
"I think it's safe to say now that not Team Joshua or Matchroom will ever fight the Gypsy King," he said in a video posted to social media.
"It's alright fighting men who are 39 years old and half your size, tonight is pure evidence that I'm fighting the best heavyweight out there in Deontay Wilder. Joshua's not even close.
"He's slow, methodical, ponderous at times. Powerful, yes, but they all are.
"It's very, very clear to see: avoid me at all costs. If I was you, Joshua, I'd avoid me. I would jab your face off."
