Anthony Joshua will return to box again, according to his promoter Eddie Hearn.<\/p>\n
Things were looking very good for \u201cAJ\u201d coming into the end of 2025. He\u2019d just beaten the brakes off Jake Paul in a huge Netflix boxing match that put tens of millions of dollars<\/a> into his pocket. And boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh had announced a two-fight plan with Joshua that would end with the long awaited Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n According to Joshua\u2019s longtime promoter Eddie Hearn, \u201cAJ\u201d will indeed go on.<\/p>\n \u201cOriginally, the plan for AJ was for him to fight in March,\u201d Hearn said during a Matchroom Boxing event press conference. \u201cAnd then fight Tyson Fury in August. That\u2019s not happening. He\u2019s not fighting Tyson Fury next. He\u2019s going to come back, I believe, late summer. But physically he\u2019s not yet in a position to return to camp.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m planning, but he\u2019s just resting and preparing,\u201d Hearn added. \u201cSo for me, I\u2019m looking at options to get him back in the ring in July time, but we\u2019ll only know if that\u2019s a real possibility when he returns to camp, which will hopefully be in the next couple of weeks or a month.\u201d<\/p>\n
