Eddie Hearn Celebrates Anthony Joshua's Comeback Fight

Eddie Hearn, promoter of former world champion Anthony Joshua, has hailed Joshua's upcoming return to the ring on July 25, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marks Joshua's first fight in seven months after a fatal car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two members of his team.

Hearn described this comeback as significant for Joshua's career, emphasizing the importance of the bout as a preparation for a long-demanded clash against Tyson Fury later in the year. Joshua, who holds a professional record of 20 wins and 1 loss, last fought in December 2023, where he secured a victory against Jake Paul in the sixth round in Miami.

Hearn believes that this July contest is essential to ensure Joshua is fully prepared for the anticipated showdown with Fury.
