Eddie Hearn Teases Anthony Joshua's 2026 Plans After Saudi Talks
Eddie Hearn hints at major plans for Anthony Joshua in 2026 after talks with Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh. Hearn discussed expanding Matchroom Boxing collaboration and mapping Joshua's next career move.
The meeting in Riyadh left Hearn excited but cautious about revealing details. Joshua, who lost to Daniel Dubois in a world heavyweight title fight last year, is expected to return to the ring early next year.
Talks are ongoing for a potential comeback bout in Nigeria, which would be Joshua's first professional fight on African soil. The possibility of facing Congolese heavyweight Martin Bakole has been raised, potentially reigniting Joshua's global profile and shining a spotlight on African boxing.
