Anthony Joshua Eyes July Comeback as Hearn Confirms Tyson Fury Is Not Next

Hearn says a return to camp in the coming weeks will determine whether a July fight is feasible.

Overview

  • Promoter Eddie Hearn outlined a late-summer target and said Joshua is not yet physically ready to start camp.
  • Hearn indicated a Fury bout is off for Joshua’s next fight and is more likely at the end of 2026 or early 2027.
  • Joshua suffered minor injuries in December’s Nigeria crash that killed close team members Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, creating a significant emotional toll.
  • Nigerian authorities have charged driver Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode with multiple driving offences linked to the collision, with legal proceedings continuing.
  • Fury is booked to face Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 in London, as Joshua has publicly thanked supporters and pledged to honor his late friends’ families.
