Joshua's return could take place in March

Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) will not return to the ring until next March. This was stated by the British promoter Eddie Hearn. Until recently, it was announced that the next professional performance of the former two-time world heavyweight champion is scheduled for December.

The 33-year-old athlete, after Tyson Fury broke off negotiations about their fight, decided to take a break from the training room for several weeks. In March, Joshua will most likely cross gloves with the winner of the November fight between Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin.

A fight between Joshua and Deontay Wilder could take place next summer. The first negotiations on this issue have already begun.

“I was supposed to enter the ring this year, but I will enter the ring next year. I will be in the ring when I am in the ring. I do not want to make any statements today, so that later I would be crucified for this. I'll be back when I'm ready," Joshua said on the exact date of his return.
