Hearn Teases Anthony Joshua Update as AJ Returns to Sparring After Fatal Crash

Hearn signals a late-summer return window following Joshua's post-crash training restart.

Overview

  • Eddie Hearn posted a past ring-walk photo captioned "Loading" on Instagram, hinting at imminent news on Anthony Joshua's next move.
  • Hearn said Joshua recently rejected an approach from a rival promoter, underscoring their ongoing alignment with Matchroom.
  • Joshua shared clips of light technical sparring at Finchley ABC, his first publicly seen work since the December crash in Nigeria that killed two team members.
  • Hearn is targeting a July timeframe for Joshua's comeback and has ruled out Tyson Fury as the immediate opponent.
  • Matchmaking options are limited as top heavyweights are already scheduled for spring, with Rico Verhoeven now set to face Oleksandr Usyk on 23 May.
