ANTHONY JOSHUA set to undergo surgery ahead of possible TYSON FURY fight



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.
