And with a frontrunner for the high-profile comeback of Joshua emerging in recent days, the Watford star still continues to draw links to an overdue grudge match with Tyson Fury<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, as far as the pinnacle of his career is concerned, Joshua has been warned he\u2019s already reached it and, as such, is now \u201cdone\u201d at the top level against other contenders.<\/p>\n Yet to return to the ring since his hellacious knockout loss to Daniel Dubois<\/a> just over a year ago, Joshua has so far been unable to secure a return to the ring.<\/p>\n And amid links to grudge pairing with Fury<\/a>, as well as a mismatch clash with Jake Paul<\/a>, the Olympian\u2019s return is still no clearer.<\/p>\n However, as far as former WBC middleweight champion Carl Froch<\/a> is concerned, Joshua should really consider staying away from the ring for good \u2014 claiming the ex-champion is \u201cdone\u201d at the top level of the sport.<\/p>\n AJ (Anthony Joshua) was f\u2014\u2014 break dancing on his head in his last fight,\u201d Froch said. \u201cHe\u2019s done. (Daniel) Dubois f\u2014\u2014 ironed him out.\u201d (H\/T IFL TV) <\/p>\n Furthermore, addressing Joshua\u2019s recent callout of Fury on social media<\/a>, Froch has set the record straight \u2014 claiming the former two-time champion has no chance of following through on his promise.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll tell you something, he (Joshua) won\u2019t be smashing his (Fury\u2019s) head in. And I don\u2019t think Tyson Fury would come out of retirement, to be honest,\u201d Froch continued. <\/p>\n \u201cHe could do it if there\u2019s massive money involved, which there probably will be. But I can only see one winner in that fight, and that\u2019s Tyson Fury.\u201d<\/p>\n Coach provides update on Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury<\/p>\n On the radar for countless years at this stage, a pairing between British megastars Joshua and Fury has so far failed to come to fruition.<\/p>\n And with his comeback to the ring expected at the beginning of 2026, Joshua\u2019s long-time promoter Eddie Hearn<\/a> remains confident of potentially brokering a fight with Fury as soon as next summer.<\/p>\n![\"Anthony](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-1439260275-1024x683.jpg\")
