Eddie Hearn Reveals Delay in Anthony Joshua's Retirement Plan Post Defeat
Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua's promoter, confirms a delay in Joshua's retirement plan. Initially set for 2026, the plan was pushed back due to a comeback delay following a knockout defeat by Daniel Dubois in September.
Joshua had surgery for an elbow injury in May and is now training for a comeback in early 2026. Hearn emphasized that Joshua's future in the sport depends on his return's outcome.
The last fight in September 2024 saw Joshua stopped in five rounds by Dubois at Wembley Stadium. Hearn mentioned that the comeback bout will be carefully chosen to rebuild momentum for Joshua.
