“We are looking at Q1 next year. The Nigerian government is involved in this as well. That’s the key really.”
The development comes just a week after AJ called out Tyson Fury for a fight.
He insisted he would “punch Gypsy King’s head in” if they could finally agree to a grudge match.
He has also admitted he would accept a challenge from rising star Moses Ituama “in a heartbeat”.
But the bout could hinge on it being for the world heavyweight title.
AJ has previoulsy revealed that he would love to have a fight in the continent of Africa.
He would follow in the footsteps of icon Muhammad Ali, who challenged George Foreman in Africa in 1974.
