ANTHONY JOSHUA will learn the identity of his new short-notice opponent later today.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has worked frantically over the weekend to try and secure a replacement for Whyte.

American Gerald Washington is the current frontrunner to win the lucrative AJ sweepstakes.

Washington, 41, was scheduled to throw down with Chisora on the undercard of the show and would be the ideal replacement.

The Yank's height and ranginess would be ideal for Joshua to prepare for his long-overdue grudge match with Deontay Wilder.

Washington is a member of Team Wilder and trains with Bronze Bomber's head coach Malik Scott.
