Anthony Joshua Picks Klitschko as Toughest Opponent, Eyes Fury Showdown
Anthony Joshua named Wladimir Klitschko as the hardest puncher he faced in his boxing career, recalling their epic 2017 battle at Wembley. Joshua, an Olympic gold medalist turned professional, highlighted Klitschko's power in the ring.
The fight, where Joshua stopped Klitschko in the 11th round, solidified his rise in the heavyweight division. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, confirmed plans for his return in early 2026, aiming for a showdown with Tyson Fury.
Fury, who announced retirement earlier, might make a comeback for the anticipated fight. Joshua's journey from winning the IBF title to facing setbacks and surgeries showcases his resilience and determination in the boxing world.
