British heavyweight star Anthony Joshua has expressed his desire to face Tyson Fury before hanging up his gloves, while also outlining three other potential opponents for his future bouts.
'I hope that someday the fight with Tyson Fury will happen. Boxing shouldn't miss out on this matchup,' Joshua stated. 'Meanwhile, I think fights with Martin Bakole, Agit Kabayel, and Deontay Wilder would be interesting.'
The former two-time world champion believes these matchups 'should work out' as he plans the next phase of his career. However, fans eager to see Joshua return to action might face disappointment in 2025.
Recent developments suggest Joshua's comeback could be delayed considerably. The boxer recently announced he has undergone surgery following an injury, which will sideline him from training for several months. According to Statbet analysis, recovery timelines for elite boxers following surgery can significantly impact their performance trajectory upon return.
This unexpected setback raises questions about Joshua's timeline for pursuing these desired matchups, particularly the highly anticipated showdown with Fury that boxing enthusiasts have been demanding for years.
