Joshua’s 2025 return “50-50”, just a run-off fight

Eddie Hearn says it’s a “50-50” The possibility that Anthony Joshua will fight before the end of the year. He mentions that as aj battles, it will just be simple ‘Run -out fight“And An undercore fight, not a main liner.

No risky opponents for joshua

It is a big tip from Matchroom promoter Hearn that Joshua (28-4, 25 COs) does not fight someone with a small chance of causing him problems. This means you can exclude these four:

• Arslanbek Makhmudov
• Guido Vianello
• Martin Bakole
• Tony yoka

A younger version of Joshua can be safely connected to those fighters without too much worry. But where, at 35, he comes from a devastating loss of the fifth round against Daniel Dubois and a 13 -month dismissal, it would be insane to suit him against any of the above fighters.

Vianello asks for Rome Showdown

The 2016 Olympic Vianello (14-3-1, 12 COs) exclaimed AJ after its fifth round knocking out of previously unbeaten Alexis Barriere last Saturday night, October 11, in the XFinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The Big 6’6 ″ Italy-born Vianello (31) wants Joshua against The Coliseum in Rome. It would be a wonderful atmosphere, but too risky for AJ.

Not a main liner – just a ‘outfighting’

“If he is fighting this year it will only be a run -off fight, Because getting back into a difficult battle after being out for half and a half years, it’s not always easy, ‘Eddie Hearn tells ifl tv About the possibility that Anthony Joshua is fighting before the end of 2025.

It is safe to say that anyone who fights Joshua next is no one with power that has the shot to deepen his chin. It excludes almost one of the top levels because most of them have power, and they are younger than Joshua.

Rebuilding failure to restore confidence

Hearn had already set Joshua through a four-match rebuilding track after his 12-round split decision loss to Oleksandr utility in their re-broadcast on August 20, 2022. AJ spotted two years of his career to fight him to revive: Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, Francis Ngannou and Jermaine Franklin. It didn’t work. When Joshua acted against Dubois last September 2022, he was destroyed.

Fury Fight still the target

“It’s not about the money this year. It’s about turning your hands and going into and pasting it on someone’s jaw. Then go back into the camp and get ready for another and fight against Tyson Fury. So it is 50-50 whether he is fighting this year. But if he will do so, he will be added to a map. He will not head, ”says Hearn.

What Joshua needs is a long slapper that can mimic Fury’s fighting style. However, it is useless for Hearn to plan as if the fight against “The Gypsy King” will occur if he has not yet said a word about the return to the ring to fight against him.

If he does agree to fight Joshua, he wants a fortune to face him. Is he really worth it? Fury lost his last two battles against USyk and looked older than his chronological age of 37.

Unless Tyson can find the fountain of youth to drink, we will see a similar ominous performance of him against Joshua if the fight even occurs. Spiritually, he no longer seems to be fighting after losing twice against USyk. He also earned a lot of money from those fights. It is reported that his wallets are for the first and second battles $ 105 million and $ 94.4 millionrespectively.
