Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that the former two-time unified heavyweight champ is expected to return to the ring early April. The bout will launch an active year that is expected to end with a long in-demand super-fight with a fellow former titleholder.
British-Nigerian Joshua fought just once in each of the past three years. His lone appearance in 2022 was a repeat defeat to Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk , who outpointed Joshua over 12 rounds to successfully defend his WBA,IBF and WBO heavyweight titles in their August 20, 2022 rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Usyk claimed the belts in a 12-round unanimous decision victory over the 2012 Olympic gold medalist and two-time champ in their first meeting on September 24, 2021 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.All rights reserved.
