Monday, May 5, 2025 - British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua, has revealed he is set to undergo surgery soon to address a persistent issue that's been delaying his ring return.
The Brit has been out of action since he lost
against Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024, with his future
up in the air on the back of the devastating knockout defeat.
Speaking to DAZN on Saturday night ahead of a possible
fight, he explained why he won't be in the ring any time soon.
'When do you want me back, people?' Joshua asked in the
interview. 'I'm trying to get my body right. I have got to actually have a
little surgery on my elbow.
'A small surgery sometime in May. I'm finalising the
details.
'That will see me out of the gym for maybe six to eight
weeks, and then when I'm healed, I will be back.'
Reports of a bout against Fury continue to gather pace, with
Fury's former promoter Frank Warren telling Mail Sport this
week: 'It’ll be about whether Tyson wants to do it, and whether AJ wants
to do it. AJ is still active and wants the fight—it’s the one that never
happened. Everybody wants to see it.'
Warren had previously suggested a return for a
'generational 'Battle of Britain' fight against Joshua could be on the
cards.
The two heavyweight stars have regularly traded verbals and
been in discussions before, but nothing serious has ever materialized.
