Hearn: Joshua fights once every 2025
Published
1 year agoon
Promoter Eddie Hearn says that Anthony Joshua will fight “once” in 2025, probably until September. “Hearn states that they are waiting if Tyson Fury will end his retirement to return to AJ again.
Single Joshua 2025 Fight plan
If the fury “Gypsy King” is retired, Hearn says that interested Joshua fighting Daniel Dubois, if he passes through his unquestioned fight for the championship with Oleksandr Usyk on July 19.
Dubois humiliated AJ in September last year, destroying him in five rounds at the Wembley stadium. However, Hearn states that fury remains the highest priority. If he leaves a pension, they will take it.
Hearn is waiting for a decision to fury
“He will only fight once this year. It will be good in mid -September. And by that time we will find out for sure whether the Fury will come back or not,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor ESPN About Anthony Joshua.
AJ comes out of the elbow surgery, so this year he will not be able to get two fights. Perhaps this is a good thing for him, because fans would expect him to fight high -quality opposition. He is not able to defeat the killers such as Agit Kabayel, Filip Hrgovic, and even an inexperienced novice of Moses Itauma.
Fans perceive Joshua (28-4, 25 KO) as a past, and many of them lost interest, seeing how they fight anyone. Sentimental boxing fans who remembered Joshua from what he had done earlier in his career over a decade ago may still be interested in watching him. The rest of the fans perceive him as a warrior for a surplus.
“I just don’t think he can leave it alone. You know why? Because he doesn’t. He is still at the peak of his powers – said Hearn about Fury. “It is very hard to move away from the fight like Anthony Joshua when you still have her.”
Fury: Shadow of his former Self
I can’t believe for a moment that Hearn is seriously approaching fury, not showing signs of falling. He looks 100% faded, wasted shell of what was 10 years ago, when he did nervously nervous 39-year-old Vladimir Klitschko in 2015. Everyone can see that Tyson has nothing in his game. Blow him for genetics or a sedentary lifestyle. I see it as a combination of both because it is muddy luxurious in net value approaching $ 200 millionAnd they eat well between the fights.
Fury’s controversial victory over the former UFC warrior Francis Ngannou showed that he was shot. He should have destroyed this warrior if he still had something, but instead he lost and received a controversial 10-round victory for a divided decision in 2023.
Hearn has done a good job in the last four years of maintaining Anthony’s career, introducing him to four reconstruction fights against the lower level opposition after defeats from Oleksandr Usyk. However, when Joshua stayed back against his first opponent, Daniel Dubois, he was blurred. DDD went through him as if we were speed on the road. This fight was not even remotely to be competitive.
Joshua is much more money for fury than Dubois. This is more winning for him. Tyson looked thoroughly washed in his last two fights Usyk, he was almost knocked out in the first in May 2024.
Were it not for the judge saving fury with a strange eight in the ninth round, he would definitely be finished. In Usyk-Fury rematch in December last year Tyson looked torpid, incompatible with the shape and physically unable to do nothing.
