Anthony Joshua's Boxing Return Set for July 25 in Riyadh

Anthony Joshua is confirmed to make his boxing return on July 25, following a car accident in Nigeria that resulted in minor injuries to two of his close friends. The Watford-born heavyweight will compete against an Albanian opponent in Riyadh, coinciding with an esports World Cup event.

This bout marks Joshua's first fight since his knockout victory in December. Joshua has signed a multi-fight deal for the Riyadh season, which includes a potential clash with Tyson Fury later in the year.

The announcement was made by Alalshikh on social media, highlighting Joshua's journey to regroup and rebuild after the accident. Joshua expressed his eagerness to compete again and continue from where he left off, indicating a strong commitment to his boxing career.
