Eddie Hearn Addresses Anthony Joshua's Injury

Eddie Hearn has shed light on the injury that has put a hold on Anthony Joshua's anticipated rematch with Daniel Dubois. Joshua suffered a devastating fifth-round KO loss to Dubois in September, leading to plans for a rematch on February 22 to be derailed.

Delay in Return to Training Camp

Despite initial plans for a quick turnaround, Joshua's injury has prevented him from returning to training camp as scheduled. Hearn has reassured fans that the injury is not a major concern, but it has hindered Joshua's ability to train at full intensity.

Concerns Over Joshua's Fitness

Hearn hinted at a possible minor issue in Joshua's biceps, stating that the former champ is dealing with wear-and-tear that requires a more cautious approach to training. Joshua's eagerness for revenge against Dubois was evident, but his team and Hearn prioritized his long-term well-being.

Future Rematch Plans

While Joshua's return to the ring has been delayed, Hearn emphasized the importance of ensuring Joshua is physically and mentally prepared for a potential rematch with Dubois. The focus is on getting Joshua back to peak condition to avoid any future setbacks in his career.
