Anthony Joshua Targets Summer Comeback After Crash

Anthony Joshua has resumed full training after a tragic road crash in Nigeria that resulted in the deaths of two close associates. The incident occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, leading to a period of recovery for Joshua, who had not fought since December 19.

His trainer, Kevin Ayodele, and therapist, Sina Ghami, are also recovering from the accident. Joshua is working to rejoin his coach, Iegor Golub, at Finchley Amateur Boxing Club, where his boxing journey began.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated that Joshua is edging closer to a full return, with a comeback bout planned for July. A previously scheduled fight in Saudi Arabia was shelved due to the crash.

Reports suggest that a potential blockbuster clash with Tyson Fury is in the works, with Fury expected to return to action on April 11 against Arslanbek Makhmudov, setting the stage for a heavyweight showdown later in the year.
