Anthony Joshua, the notable boxer and heavyweight contender, is setting his sights on an expected return to the ring in February 2026. His long-time promoter, Eddie Hearn, has confirmed that Joshua won’t likely be fighting in 2025 due to strategic planning for his much-anticipated comeback.
Taking a closer look at Joshua's recent performances reveals that he last fought Daniel Dubois in September 2024. This bout ended with a knockout loss for Joshua against Dubois, marking a significant chapter in his career. After this event and considering strategic aspects, Hearn emphasized the focus on fine-tuning Joshua's preparations for February 2026.
In a statement about Joshua’s status and preparation, Hearn revealed more insights regarding their plans. He noted that everyone is working diligently towards ensuring Joshua's February return happens without any hiccups—an almost tangible goal given the progress made thus far. As he continued through training camp with renewed vigor and intensity, Hearn remarked on Joshua's increasing readiness, saying:
“He's four or five weeks deep into camp now. So he's on me to fight. Previously, he hadn't been training in camp with intensity.”
With the broader boxing landscape evolving rapidly, numerous possibilities loom over Joshua's future fights beyond his immediate return. Among these prospects is a potential mega-fight involving Jake Paul by 2026—a matchup that excites fans for its dynamic potential within the sport.
Jake Paul, having previously called out both Anthony Joshua and Gervonta Davis, will step into the ring against "Tank" Davis this November after securing victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
