Anthony Joshua's illustrious boxing career may be nearing its conclusion, as promoter Eddie Hearn suggests the former heavyweight champion could retire by the end of 2026. Joshua, who has not fought since a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024, is recovering from elbow surgery and is expected to return to the ring in late 2025.
Hearn envisions a series of high-profile bouts leading up to Joshua's retirement, including potential fights against rivals Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois. However, with Fury having announced his retirement after two defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, the prospect of a Joshua-Fury showdown remains uncertain.
Joshua, 35, has expressed his desire to continue fighting and is eager to reclaim a world title before retiring. His comeback fight, likely to take place between October and December 2025, will be crucial in determining the trajectory of his remaining career.
As Joshua prepares for his return, fans and analysts alike are eager to see if the former champion can recapture his form and conclude his career on a high note.
