Anthony Joshua will be back inside the ring in October or November to defend his IBF/WBA heavyweight titles, says his promoter, Eddie Hearn.
He expects Joshua to take a vacation soon, though he hasn’t said anything about wanting to take a break. Hearn is plotting the possible opponents, which range from a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko to a fight against Kubrat Pulev.
Tyson Fury is also a possibility for the 2-year-old Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) but that fight isn’t likely to take lace due to the huge amount of weight that Fury still needs to lose before he can consider getting back inside the ring.
The last thing Joshua needs is to take an opponent that is 100 pounds’ overweight, making the fight look like a money grab to the British boxing public.
“Speaking to [Joshua’s trainer] Rob McCracken Wednesday, October or November, is probably the kind of date you will see Anthony Joshua back in the ring,” said Hearn to Sky Sports News HQ.
“[There are] various options. You’ve got the mandatory situation to deal with, with [Kubrat] Pulev,” Hearn said.
