Training Never Stops
Anthony Joshua showcased his dedication to fitness by doing 30 press-ups on a private jet en route to the FlowBank Trading Championship in Geneva. Despite his busy schedule, the boxing superstar made sure to stay in shape while traveling.
Next Opponent in Sight
With his next fight scheduled at Wembley in September, Joshua's opponent is still up in the air. Names like Daniel Dubois, Joseph Parker, and Zhilei Zhang are all in the running to face the British boxer on his home turf. Promoter Eddie Hearn emphasized the importance of Joshua reclaiming a world championship title.
Contenders for the Crown
While Dubois is currently leading the pack after claiming the "interim" IBF title, both Parker and Zhang are eager to challenge Joshua. Parker defeated Deontay Wilder in December, while Zhang potentially ended Wilder's career with a KO win in Saudi Arabia. The upcoming press conference on June 26 will reveal Joshua's next opponent.
IBF Title Drama
After Oleksandr Usyk's victory over Tyson Fury, there were talks of him being stripped of the IBF title. However, there is a possibility that Usyk will retain the belt for a rematch with Fury in December. Eddie Hearn is pushing for the title to be vacated for Joshua to compete for it against Dubois in the summer.
