And in an “Ask Me Anything” Q&A session on Reddithe listed the three fights he most wants to do.
They are: Joshua vs Fury, Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford and Artur Beterbiev vs David Benavidez.
Here, SunSport explains what makes the clashes on Alalshikh’s bucket list so special.
Joshua vs Fury
It is by far the biggest fight ever fought in Britain and possibly the biggest on the market today.
Years of feuds and speculation would finally be put to rest in a true blockbuster for the ages.
There is hope that if Fury defeats Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, AJ can face the Gypsy King afterwards to finally give the fans – and Alalshikh – what they want.

Canelo vs Crawford
Undefeated American Crawford, 36, seemed almost unstoppable on his way to becoming a four-division world champion.
And he’s so confident he’s ready to rise THREE divisions to fight boxing’s biggest star, Canelo.
The 33-year-old Mexican has so far seemed uninterested in the fight – but that could quickly be changed by a Saudi payday.

Beterbiev x Benavidez
One of Alalshikh’s biggest coups was the undisputed light heavyweight showdown between Dmitry Bivol, 33, and Beterbiev, 39, on June 1.
But the powerful is already thinking about the future and has plans for Benavidez, 27, to move up from super middleweight to face the winner.
The undefeated American star sought a fight with Canelo, but to no avail, leaving himself open to a move to 175 pounds.
