Anthony Joshua’s return plans revealed by Eddie Hearn
The return of Anthony Joshua to a boxing ring could happen in the first half of 2024, as per his promoter Eddie Hearn.
As we know, Anthony Joshua suffered a terrible knockout loss to Daniel Dubois earlier this year. Ever since then, there have been plenty of questions asked when it comes to what his next steps will be in the world of professional boxing.
Some have said he should retire, whereas others want to see him continue in an attempt to climb his way back to the top.
Eddie Hearn, meanwhile, believes that Anthony Joshua will be back – and it could come sooner than many had anticipated.
Eddie Hearn reveals Anthony Joshua’s return plans
“In May or June. He’s not in full training yet. He’s probably ready to resume training in January,” said Eddie Hearn to iFL TV about when Anthony Joshua will fight next. “At the moment, you’ve got the Dubois fight [against Joseph Parker] on February 22nd, and you’ve got to see what Fury wants to do.
“We’re not in a terrible rush. AJ will fight twice in 2025. Once in the summer and once in the winter. If we can’t make the Dubois fight and if Fury don’t want to fight, then you have to make the decision to fight somebody, or do you wait for those fights?
“I can’t speak on behalf of AJ, for who he’s prepared to fight, but what I know is the focus is Daniel Dubois or Tyson Fury. Of course, he’s [Joshua] done it all. If he gets Fury on his resume, he’s boxed virtually everybody of his era.”
