Anthony Joshua Dealt Injury Blow, Eddie Hearn Expresses Hope for Tyson Fury Showdown

Joshua's Setback

Anthony Joshua has faced an injury setback, halting his return to the ring after his defeat to Daniel Dubois in September. The anticipated fight with Tyson Fury hangs in the balance.

Fury's Retirement and Joshua's Injury

Tyson Fury's surprise retirement following losses to Oleksandr Usyk has complicated the heavyweight boxing scene. Additionally, Joshua's injury will keep him out of training for up to ten weeks, as confirmed by Eddie Hearn.

Hearn's Optimism

Despite the setbacks, Eddie Hearn remains hopeful for a Fury-Joshua showdown this year. He believes Fury may come out of retirement for the highly anticipated bout.

Motivating Fights

Hearn disclosed that only fights with Fury and Dubois seem to ignite Joshua's competitive spirit for his next match. Other potential opponents may not provide the same level of motivation for the British boxer.
