Not Hanging Up the Gloves Yet! Anthony Joshua Fires Warning Shot To Heavyweight Division With Major Career Extension.

Published

on

According to Matchroom chairman Barry Hearn, Anthony Joshua is weighing a three-year extension to his boxing career following a shift in perspective.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Just a year after promoter Eddie Hearn hinted that 2026 might mark Joshua’s retirement, the former two-time heavyweight champion is rethinking his timeline. This change follows a challenging period that included a tragic car accident in Nigeria which claimed the lives of two close friends. Although Joshua sustained minor injuries, the incident led him to step away briefly to mourn before returning to the gym.

Naija News notes that the 36-year-old made his comeback with a December knockout win over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. He was also scheduled to fight kickboxing star Rico Verhoeven in February, though the accident caused that bout to be postponed.

Currently, Joshua is gearing up to face Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, just a day after Tyson Fury takes on Polish veteran Mariusz Wach in Thailand. If both fighters win their matches without issue, talks are already underway for a potential all-British showdown between Joshua and Fury in November.

While the anticipated Fury bout was widely thought to be Joshua’s swan song, Barry Hearn feels the former world champion has regained his long-term drive.

“Anthony Joshua is in an amazing place at the moment,” Hearn shared with Sky Sports.

“Obviously I’ve seen him since 2012, we got very close. He’s like a member of our family really.”

“I don’t think I’ve seen him so motivated for the long term.”

“As I say, some of that has been fuelled by that tragic accident, but he’s now talking about the next three years in the ring.”

“It was a year ago we were talking about potentially two fights and then go off to a happy retirement.”

“He’s very motivated, he feels good about himself, but boxing is a funny sport. It takes one decent punch from a big lad to knock out anyone in the world.”

Following his release on bail, Poco Lee spoke about his experience during a video call with social commentator VeryDarkMan. He maintained his innocence regarding the sexual allegations against him, stating his conscience is clear. He expressed that his primary concern during his time in custody was the welfare of his associates and the disruption to their business activities.

He said, “I was just being myself. God sees my heart. My only worries were about my people. Jago could not do anything business, and I didn’t want to stress anyone. If I was inside there and I did what I was accused of, I would have felt I was paying for my sins, but since I knew I didn’t do what I was accused of, my mind is pure.”
