Anthony Joshua is keeping his fans in suspense about his boxing comeback, with the decision likely to be revealed just 48 hours before the fight. Following his knockout defeat by Daniel Dubois last September, Joshua is eyeing a warm-up match before locking horns with Tyson Fury in the near future. Talks are ongoing about potentially adding Joshua to an upcoming undercard event before Christmas.
Promoter Eddie Hearn mentioned that a final call on Joshua’s next fight will be made this week, hinting at a surprise announcement close to the fight date. While opponents are being lined up for a warm-up bout, the intention is to keep the fight low-key without heavy promotion, emphasizing a spontaneous entry into the ring.
Hearn hinted at a potential exception to this plan, suggesting that a bout with YouTuber Jake Paul could be an interesting matchup. However, discussions have not progressed to an official offer, with Joshua not currently being considered as one of Paul’s potential opponents.
In other boxing news, the highly anticipated Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn rematch is scheduled to take place on November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fans can catch the action on DAZN PPV for £24.99 or enjoy it for free with a DAZN Ultimate subscription.
