Anthony Joshua is charting a determined course for 2025, aiming to reestablish himself at the pinnacle of heavyweight boxing following his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Promoter Eddie Hearn has outlined a two-fight strategy for Joshua, targeting high-profile opponents to facilitate his comeback.
Planned Return and Potential Opponents
Joshua is expected to return to the ring in late spring or early summer 2025, with Hearn indicating a likely fight in May or June. This timeline allows Joshua to recover from any lingering injuries and resume full training in January. Hearn stated, “AJ will fight twice in 2025. Once in the summer and once in the winter.”
The primary targets for Joshua’s comeback are a rematch with Daniel Dubois or a long-anticipated bout with Tyson Fury. The initial plan for an immediate rematch with Dubois was shelved due to scheduling conflicts, as Dubois is set to fight Joseph Parker on February 22.
