Joshua's 2025 Plans: Awaiting Fury, Exploring Other Opponents

Anthony Joshua trains hard to stay ready for his return to the ring in 2025. The former double heavy goods vehicle champion Joshua (28-4, 25 ko) has still not chosen an opponent for his next fight, but we Think he is while waiting for Tyson Fury to announce that he is coming out of retirement.

Fury watch

The promoter Eddie Hearn says that Fury is the one they want, but they are also interested in a revenge match with the IBF champion Daniel Dubois. Joshua, 35, wants to avenge his fifth round defeat against Dubois from last summer on September 21. The two fought in front of a large crowd at the Wembley stadium in London. Losing in front of all these fans was a disappointment for AJ because he dropped them.

If Fury is not withdrawn soon, Joshua will have to decide to continue to wait or stay busy fighting one of the best contenders. Deontay Wilder is another guy who Hearn is interested in fighting Joshua. Andy Ruiz Jr. is interested in a trilogy with Joshua, and it is a fight that would arouse a lot of interest.

Joshua’s options

– Daniel Dubois
– Tyson Fury
– Andy Ruiz Jr
– DEONTAY WILDER
– Derek Chisora
– Dillian Whyte
– Martin Bakole

Hearn did not seem enthusiastic by Joshua Fighting Bakole. He may consider that the fight would not be sold on the British market because Bakole is not well known to occasional boxing fans. It is also a risky fight for Joshua because he just got out of a four -stroke Ko defeat and fifth round against Dubois. Fighting a dangerous punker like Bakole in his first fight seems to be a bad idea.

The 39 -year -old Wilder is also a risky fight, and he could be more difficult than it is worth at this stage of his career. It is too late in the game for a fight between Joshua and Deontay of the pain.
