Eddie Hearn says that Anthony Joshua will probably retire in 2026.
Eddie Hearn believes that Anthony Joshua will probably retire from boxing next year.
Hearn promoted Joshua for his entire professional career of the 32-Wall, because the man from Watford fell over after winning gold at the Olympic Games in 2012.
“AJ” has a return this year after a successful elbow surgery, and Hearn believes that his allegation may call his career in 2026, provided that he secures two fights with the long -term rival of Tyson Fury, who retired in January after returning to defeat Oleksandr Usyk.
“AJ would leave the ring a little over a year before he returned to the ring,” said the 46-year-old The Ariel Helwani Show.

“He will get off the operation. I don’t think the Fury will be ready to fight anyway.
“But I expect it to be someone who will prepare him for a really great fight in 2026, and probably 2026 will be his last year in sport.
“It is probably three fights.
“If I advise AJ, we came back this year, we have two fights of Tyson Fury, what else can you do?

“Maybe fight Daniel Dubois, but I think that for me, when AJ fights with Tyson Fury, he did all this.
“I would like him to have another crack in Dubois and I would like him to have another crack in Uyk, but you just go on.
“Now, if we get to next year and he still shoots all cylinders, 2026 will not be his last year.
“But for me something is right about returning this year, defeating Tyson Fury twice and sailing to the sunset.”
Joshua was associated with a hit from Fury for a decade, but the long -awaited couple meeting is not yet materialized.
Hearn admits that Dillian Whyte was a leader from “AJ” in his return, but the man from Brixton is to face the growing heavyweight prospect, Moses Itacu on August 16 in Riyadh.

According to Joshua, the former world champion in heavyweight WBC, is an option for Joshua, according to the head of the match, providing a man from Alabama in a good way when he returns on June 27 against Tyrrell Herndon.
Wilder-Joshua’s fight was once one of the most effective clashes in the division, especially when both men were world champions.
However, the perspective of the couple’s meeting lost a lot of its splendor, especially because Wilder won only one of the last five fights.

Carl Froch believes that Moses Itauma “flattens” Dillian Whyte, when the couple meet later this summer.
Ituma will take his first step in the classroom when he faces the former contender for the title of the world, why on August 16 in Riyadh.
The 20-year-old, considered by many as a heir evident to the crown of heavyweight in the coming years, pierced his first 12 professional fights, winning 10 for arrest, including the last time against excessively overtaken Mike Balogun.
Froch predicted that he would add to his impressive book against “Sapper Body”.
“Do I want to see AJ Whyte Dillian Whyte?” The 47-year-old said on Froch on the fight.

“I think Dillian Whyte is about the ending.
“He is also to fight with Moses Itaum.
“I think that Moses will be absolutely class and probably flattened Dillian Whyte, and this will be his end.”
Whyte won his last three fights for the spin since the sixth round of losing to Tyson Fury in the offer of the WBC heavyweight world title in April 2022.
The 37-year-old had Anthony Joshu’s removal in August 2023, but was withdrawn after a failed drug test.

The 35-year-old was moved to the side after the elbow surgery, and Froch warned him before meeting with Itaum.
“I wouldn’t put in AJ with Itaum,” he added.
“Because it would be another beating for me.”

Eddie Hearn revealed that Canelo Alvarez raised him to his comments before the September great struggle with Terenka Crawford.
Hearn, who previously promoted both Canelo and Crawford, will not be involved on September 13, and President UFC Dana White promotes the undisputed fight for the title of super medium weight in Las Vegas, live in Netflix.
“Probably because it was William Scull and ran on the ring, doing everything he could not involve in the fight.
“This night made me really think about who would win this fight, because Crawford is so confident.
“There is no doubt that he will win this fight, and anyone who has movement will cause problems with Canelo at this stage of their career.”
Alvarez won six from the second defeat of his professional career Dmitryjum Bivol, passing the distance in all six duels.
Canelo will defend its undisputed belts to a super medium weight.
The 34-year-old defeated such as Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Mungia and Jermell Charlo in this run, but Hearn thinks that he will have to display much better to defeat Crawford, despite the fact that the Omhaha man moved two divisions.
“Canelo must change everything he has done in the last few fights,” he added.
“William Scull’s performance is not overcome by Terenka Crawford.
“I don’t think Edgar Berlanga defeat Teunska Crawford.

“I do not think that Jaime Munguia’s performance or Charlo’s performance defeated Terence Crawford.
“So Canelo will have to create a high -quality performance to beat him and can he do it at this stage of her career?
“I think this is a kind of fight that will motivate Canelo, who is a real great whose work ethics is second to none to bring a great performance.
“Is that enough?
“I just have a insidious feeling for Terenka Crawford.”
