Eddie Hearn Hints at Anthony Joshua’s Possible Retirement After Dubois Rematch Delay
Eddie Hearn, the promoter of Anthony Joshua, has dropped a major hint regarding the future of the former heavyweight champion, suggesting that retirement could be on the horizon for Joshua within the next year. This statement comes after the postponement of Joshua’s highly anticipated rematch with fellow Briton Daniel Dubois. Joshua, who suffered a crushing knockout loss to Dubois in September, was initially set to face him again in February, but that fight has been delayed due to some minor injuries Joshua is currently dealing with.
Joshua’s Challenging Career and Potential Final Year in Boxing
After one of the most difficult defeats of his career, Joshua had dismissed calls for his retirement. However, Hearn now suggests that the 35-year-old boxer may not have much left to give to the sport. In an interview with The Times, Hearn said, “This could be [Joshua’s] last year in the sport.” The comment reflects the toll Joshua’s career has taken on him, considering the physical demands and his ongoing struggles in the ring. While fans have been eager to see him return to form, it seems increasingly likely that his days in boxing could be numbered.
Postponed Dubois Rematch and Strategic Career Moves
The planned rematch between Joshua and Dubois has been delayed, with Hearn confirming that it will not take place on February 22nd, as initially planned. The promoter stated that the situation will be reevaluated after the December 21st showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which could have major implications for Joshua’s career trajectory. Hearn hinted that Joshua could return to the ring in May or June 2025, depending on how the landscape of heavyweight boxing unfolds following these crucial matchups.
Future Possibilities: A Joshua vs. Fury Showdown
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Joshua’s future, Hearn alluded to the possibility of a massive showdown between Joshua and Tyson Fury. The idea of a fight between the two British icons has been a topic of conversation for years, but no agreement has been reached. Hearn suggested that, depending on the outcomes of upcoming fights, a Fury vs. Joshua clash could still happen, potentially as early as next summer. If Fury emerges victorious in his rematch with Usyk, it could set the stage for one of the most highly anticipated matchups in boxing history.
Dubois Enjoys the Spotlight After Victory Over Joshua
While Joshua’s future remains in limbo, Daniel Dubois has been enjoying the aftermath of his victory over the former champion. The 27-year-old is now calling out Jake Paul, following Paul’s controversial victory over Mike Tyson. Dubois, clearly riding high on his success, sees an opportunity for more big fights and is eager to test himself against the rising star of the boxing world. His decision to call out Paul highlights the unpredictability of the sport and the ever-changing dynamics in the heavyweight division.
