In 2022, British ex-world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) plans to fight three fights, returning to the ring in April.
About the plan for the ward in a conversation with
DAZN said his promoter Eddie Hearn.
Please note that in 2021-2022 Joshua spent a total of only two fights and in both lost on points to the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
“He wants to come back against a top 15 opponent. Then, in the summer, maybe (have a rematch) with Dillian Whyte, and then a megafight with Deontay Wilder,” said Hearn. – Now our plan is to rebuild it to become a three-time world champion. To be brave, to listen to Twitter, to go out and fight Wilder right away – it’s all, of course, very cool. But there must be a plan. Smart plan.
It turns out that the uncertainty is only with the nearest opponent. But here Eddie, as before, is in no hurry to reveal his cards:
“We have 3-4 options. AJ is ready to start the camp and most likely will do it this week. To be honest, I couldn’t give Joshua an opponent he would turn down. The main thing now is to assemble the right training team.”
Meanwhile, Holyfield has given advice to Joshua, and Anthony’s manager claims that the fight with Fury will take place.
