Famous British boxing master Anthony Joshua both reassured and stirred his fans — he intends to make 2026 the final year of his boxing career. His promoter Eddie Hearn reported this.
According to Hearn, Joshua is expected to return to the ring after more than a year’s break. At the moment, he has undergone elbow surgery and will not be able to fully train until mid-summer.
— Anthony will return to the ring, but at that time Fury won’t be ready to fight yet. So his first opponent is likely to be someone else. I think 2026 will be his final season. He will return, fight Tyson Fury twice next year, and then retire gracefully — it’s the logical path, — said Hearn.
It is worth recalling that Joshua last entered the ring at the end of 2024 and defeated his opponent with an early knockout. However, his recent injury disrupted those plans.
Having held a star status in the heavyweight division for many years, Joshua aims to end his career with dignity and a loud name.
According to experts, if he wins the fights against Fury, Joshua’s departure may open new doors for him — a step that would be important not only for sports history, but also for reinforcing his personal legacy.
Thus, Anthony Joshua’s fans can expect his final, yet celebratory fights ahead. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
