Eddie Hearn says he needs 6 weeks, which mean a September-November return. He mentioned the winner of Usyk-Dubois, or Fury. In the same interview, he talks about Wilder fighting Dave Allen, so his brand seems to be toxic enough that no Joshua-Wilder fight is being considered. This content is protected
Hearn knows what the deal is. expect a tune up and an attempt to maneuver him into a big fight thereafter.
Surgery completed. From now on he's known as Antonia Josephine, and will fight in the women's heavyweight division.
Lol. You do know Dubois was the one who signed up late to VADA testing which is very suspicious and also spent weeks in Brazil before training camp. Joshua alluded to this in their face-off. If Joshua vs Fury isn't next let's see Joshua vs Miller.
I still want to see Joshua-Wilder. Wilder will likely win his upcoming fight against a journeyman, so Joshua should also take on a soft opponent to restore his self-confidence, then fight Wilder late in this year. The loser should then retire. True. And Dubois is again avoiding VADA testing for his upcoming fight with Usyk.
They normally go after someone like Hurgovic but even he is too risky. Chisora is a no go. AJ is clearly not a top 10 heavyweight anymore they are pinning everything on a Fury fight before he can get chinned off into retirement
I have long thought that Joshua - Fury will be the next match for both. It is a fight that would sell well, Hearn and Warren know it and I think they will not miss the opportunity to organize it. I also add my prediction, Tyson Fury clearly on points or late stoppage. The Joshua I saw against Dubois for me is a finished fighter.
Lost to Dubois in September last year. What has kept Joshua out of the ring until now? If it was this elbow surgury, why has it taken 8 months to be performed? Has he had a total ego replacement as well?
