Anthony Joshua was set in a queue to fight with three potential opponents for another boxing fight, but Promoter Eddie Hearn insisted on devoting time to consider the decision. The 35-year-old has not entered the ring since the IBF heavyweight defeat with Daniel Dubois in September 2024 in Wembley. Joshua hit the deck in the first, third, fourth and fifth round before he was counted by the judge, leading critics to call for retirement. However, it seems that the former world champion is determined to push another fight on the highest scale.

Joshua misses the possibility of fighting Tyson Fury, but the fight never materialized. Then Fury announced his decision to leave boxing after the second defeat with Oleksandre Usyk. Hearn suggested that Fury would be their first call port if he decided to withdraw from his retirement from boxing. But the promoter assumes that his hopes for such a reversal are unbelievable and maybe instead he will have to look for an alternative opponent.

“In the perfect world, Tyson Fury gets out of the couch and says:” I’m bored. I want to throw an ankle from AJ, “said Hearn Sun. “And this telephone conversation would be the most lovely telephone conversation I had in my career, and it can come, but if so, we have to find an opponent. And he is [Joshua] He must have 100 % physically correct, because this is probably the most vital decision and moment of his career, because this is the last [fights]. “

It seems unlikely that Fury, 37 years ancient, will return to his word, and the next move of Hearna may be the search for a rematch from Dubois. However, the prevailing IBF champion wants to make an appointment with a rematch with Utyk, who defeated him in 2023 via a knockout from the ninth round.

If neither Fury nor Dubois would agree, he would leave Joshua with Agit Kabayel, Joseph Parker and Deontay Wilder. Kabayel is a fleeting WBC handle, and Parker has the title of WBO. In the face of his long -time rival, Wilder can represent the tempting option for AJ, but the American has just confirmed the fight against Tyrell Herndon in June – excluding him to be predicted the future.

Supremo Matchroom Hearn is adamant that they did not hurry with the decision and suggested that the identity of the next opponent of Joshua is not as vital as he returns to the ring.

“We are not in a hurry. Another move is so vital for the last chapter, because it is so,” he added.

“We have to do it well, and if we can’t get Dubois or if we can’t get fury, we have to fight someone else. And it can be Parker, it can be cabayel, it can be, I don’t know, wild … no one.”

Deontay Wilder will not retire soon.

Wilder is to fight for the first time since the harmful Fifth round defeat from Zhilei Zhang In June last year, when he will face his countryman Tyrell Herndon in Kansas on June 27 at Charles Koch Arena.

Some thought at the age of 39 and suffered losses, he used to be afraid that the artist with a knockout would call for a career in which he made 10 defense of the world title in heavyweight WBC.

However, the “brown bomber” returns to the action and will want to discover a part of the form in which he collected 42 knockout from 43 duels.

Herndon seems to be a relatively uncomplicated task on paper, and Texans are already suffering from Efe Ajagba and Richard Torrez Jr.

Wilder won only one of the last five competitions, the first round of the demolition of Robert Helenius in October 2022.

The man from Alabama was detained twice by the currently retired Tyson Fury in the trilogy, which will live in memory for a long time, and then was overtaken by Joseph Parker, before his last failure against the mentioned Zhang.

Victory for Wilder can again arouse interest in a duel with the long -term rival Anthony Joshua.

The couple who were associated with the fight since both had world titles in 2018 were close to the sealing of the contract for the meeting in March last year, until the defeat of Wilder with the Parker paid with these plans.

Joshua is currently moved aside due to an injury and was called by YouTuber, which was directed, Jake Paul last week.

For two -time heavyweight master promoter, Eddie Hearn admits that they are playing with him.

“At the moment” AJ is not a world champion, “said Hearn Boxing fans.

“He doesn’t chase uniform fights, unquestionable fights.

“He is looking for the biggest possible fight.

“Would it be against Jake Paul? I don’t know.

“We would do it? Yes, I think he would do it honestly.

“I don’t see the point [in] I am waiting until 2026.

“Jake has no fight. We have no fight.

“If you want to do it, let’s just get to it, but [it would be] quite perilous. “

Anthony Joshua’s team is challenging to decide on another boxer opponent in the ring, with two main members of his facilities in a misunderstanding on the next fight. Joshua loudly noisy about his desire to fight the retired Tyson Fury after the defeat of the British from Oleksandr Usyk, but coach Ben Davison would prefer to take part in Ukrainians instead.

On the other hand, the supervisor of Joshua, Eddie Hearn, wants a 35-year-old to make Daniel Dubois rematch or pull a fury from his pension. Recently, Joshua was knocked out by Dubois in September 2024 in order to win the IBF heavyweight title and has not yet returned to the ring for the next fight. Hearn confirmed at the beginning of this year that the former world champion is recovering after a “slight failure” during training, but the waiting still increases in his upcoming announcement of the fight. Davison said Boxing scene That he would like to “fix everything” for Joshua, training him to defeat Usyk, after the Ukrainian won all the heavyweight titles of the British heavyweight during the previous two fights.

Usyk won the heavyweight titles WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO from Joshua in 2021 and kept them – plus the title of the ring – a year later in August 2022. “Being selfish, I would really like to put this fight with Usyk suitable for him,” Davison said before he gave a warning to the master.

“I don’t know if it is feasible at all. But this is something that I would like to assist him. This is something that I told him when I came to the gym, that I am really convinced that we will be able to assist him fix him.”

Meanwhile, the promoter Hearn is in another school of thinking – he would rather make fury after retiring or established a rematch with the last man who knocked down Joshua to the ring. The 45-year-old surprisingly noticed that Joseph Parker could be another duel for the British if the first two are not available.

Said Hearn (by Si.com): “So if he doesn’t fight one of these two guys, he must fight someone and he will want to fight someone in the top ten. And Joseph Parker is now on one of the hottest runs. I mean that if Dubois does not fight Usyk, I would like to see how Dubois is also fighting with a parker, and I think Joe deserves the title of the world.

“But of course, if there is a enormous struggle of unification for the undisputed, Joe will need another dance partner, or maybe it’s a rematch of Joshua.”

When Dubois is to fight the Parker through WBO to defend his title, and Usyk, whose goal is also the IBF heavyweight holder, the next fight of Joshua still remains uncertain. However, fans will continue to predict what will happen next for the former heavyweight master – regardless of the opponent.
