Anthony Joshua is keeping the boxing world in suspense regarding his upcoming fight, with a decision expected just 48 hours before the match. The former heavyweight champion has not entered the ring since his defeat by Daniel Dubois last September and is eyeing a warm-up bout before a potential showdown with Tyson Fury. Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that Joshua could surprise fans by appearing on an undercard before Christmas without much prior notice, emphasizing the spontaneity of the plan.
Hearn mentioned that while discussions have taken place regarding a potential fight with YouTuber Jake Paul, no concrete offer has been made. Despite the interest, Joshua is not currently one of the considered opponents for Paul’s upcoming bout. The highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is scheduled for November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, available for purchase on DAZN PPV or through a DAZN Ultimate plan.
In other news, Joshua is in the process of assembling a new coaching team following his split with trainer Ben Davison. He recently visited Oleksandr Usyk’s training camp in Spain as he prepares for the next phase of his career. Having worked with various trainers in the past, including Tony Sims, Rob McCracken, Robert Garcia, and Derrick James, Joshua aims to refine his skills under a new coaching setup.
