Anthony Joshua’s Return Delayed: Hearn Confirms No Early Fight.
Eddie Hearn, the British promoter, has officially announced that Anthony Joshua will not step into the ring until at least May 2025, squashing any lingering hopes of an imminent rematch with IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois. This decision follows Joshua’s devastating loss to Dubois in September, where he was knocked down four times before succumbing to a fifth-round knockout at Wembley.
Initially, there was speculation about a potential rematch scheduled for February 22, but during a recent conversation, Hearn revealed that the timing is not feasible due to the extent of Joshua’s injuries. Hearn stated, “We had a very awkward call. He wanted to fight on February 22, but we had to overrule him on this because we can’t afford not to get this right.” He emphasized the importance of Joshua returning to the ring fully prepared, both physically and mentally, stating, “If you get beaten again by Daniel Dubois, you have to seriously consider your future.”
Despite these setbacks, Hearn reassured fans that Joshua did not suffer any major injuries. He explained, “There’s no major injury… just wear-and-tear that means he cannot go into a training camp with the same intensity that he would want to.”
Looking ahead, there is ongoing discussion regarding a potential bout between Joshua and Tyson Fury, a matchup that has generated considerable anticipation among boxing enthusiasts. However, Fury must first face unified champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, following his loss to the Ukrainian earlier this year.
As Joshua prepares for his eventual return, boxing fans eagerly await what the future holds for the former champion.

Inter Miami, led by Messi, were unable to secure a victory against Al Ahly in their initial match.
Inter Miami and Al Ahly played to a scoreless draw in the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup. The match, held at Hard Rock Stadium, saw Al Ahly begin strongly, but Inter Miami’s goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari, proved to be a formidable barrier. Ustari notably saved Trezeguet’s first-half penalty, denying the Egyptian side an early lead. Lionel Messi showed flashes of brilliance in the second half, but Al Ahly’s goalkeeper, El Shenawy, thwarted Inter Miami’s attempts to score. Both teams will continue their Club World Cup campaign on June 19, with Inter Miami facing Porto and Al Ahly playing against Palmeiras.
Recent reports from within Galatasaray, courtesy of Ali Naci Küçük, shed light on the conditions set by Victor Osimhen regarding his potential continued presence at the club. Apparently, Osimhen seeks assurance of a strengthened squad, exemplified by the acquisition of high-caliber players.
Küçük revealed that the recent signing of Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich was, in fact, a strategic move to satisfy Osimhen’s demands. Sané’s imminent arrival, on a 3-year deal, underscores Galatasaray’s ambition to build a competitive team. The club has reportedly offered Osimhen a substantial €14 million salary, inclusive of bonuses, as they endeavor to retain the prolific striker who previously scored 37 goals in 41 appearances during a loan spell.
Osimhen, however, remains deliberate in his decision-making process, urging patience. Galatasaray’s management is seemingly amenable to Osimhen’s requests, acknowledging the necessity of a strong team to secure his commitment.
