Olympic superheavyweight champion Anthony Joshua could compete for Britain at the Rio Olympics in 2016 while simultaneously becoming a fledgling professional boxer.

The Watford–born fighter is considering taking advantage of a hybrid system introduced by amateur boxing's world governing body, Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur (AIBA), which will allow fighters to retain Olympic eligibility while taking on professional fights under its jurisdiction. AIBA Professional Boxing (APB) will launch this autumn.
