Eddie Hearn Reveals Anthony Joshua's Path to Heavyweight Redemption
Eddie Hearn outlines Anthony Joshua's potential route back to heavyweight glory, eyeing a rematch with Daniel Dubois after a showdown with Tyson Fury.
Anthony Joshua is set to face Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25, with a potential clash against Tyson Fury looming in November. If both heavyweights emerge victorious, their long-anticipated bout could finally take place, marking a significant moment in British boxing.
Hearn believes that Joshua's ultimate goal is to reclaim a heavyweight title and become a three-time world champion. With Oleksandr Usyk vacating his WBC, IBF, and WBA belts, opportunities are ripe for the taking.
However, Hearn suggests that Joshua may prefer a rematch with Daniel Dubois, who previously stopped him in the fifth round in September 2024. Hearn noted, "[Dubois] would probably be his choice. There will be easier chances, maybe, to win a world title, but ultimately [Joshua’s] the boss and he’s going to do what he wants to do."
Before any rematch can happen, Dubois must first defend his WBO title against Fabio Wardley later this year, setting the stage for a potential showdown in 2027.
