Anthony Joshua's promoter downplays injury concerns, praises options

Frank Warren, promoter for heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, has assured fans that Anthony Joshua can easily return to the ring when he’s ready. Joshua has been out of competition since losing to Daniel Dubois last September. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, mentioned that Joshua needs about eight weeks to recover from a minor training setback. At present, Tyson Fury is retired, which affects plans for a high-profile clash with Joshua. Additionally, a rematch with Dubois is delayed as Dubois aims for a title fight against Oleksandr Usyk. Warren stated that many heavyweight fights could be arranged, emphasizing that Joshua has the flexibility to choose when to come back. Warren said there is no need for rushing Joshua’s recovery, adding that his team will fully support whatever decision he makes. He also highlighted the range of heavyweight contenders he represents, suggesting that there are plenty of opportunities for championship fights in the near future. Concerns about Joshua's career longevity were raised due to his age of 35. Warren noted that Joshua has had a remarkable career, winning world titles and attracting large crowds. He believes Joshua still has the ability to succeed when he decides to return.
