After a stellar year for Anthony Joshua.
After a stellar year for Anthony Joshua that included victories and a renewed sense of resolve, the boxing community is buzzing with rumors regarding his next step. Joshua has proven his tenacity and skill in the ring after suffering setbacks in 2021 and 2022, which included an unexpected loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua has demonstrated his skill set with a string of noteworthy victories in only the last 11 months. From his August knockout over Robert Helenius to his hard-earned victory against Jermiane Frankin earlier in April, Anthony Joshua has gradually reestablished himself as a formidable opponent in the heavyweight class.
Notably, his spectacular knockout of Francis Ngannou in March and his technical stoppage of Otto Wallin in December have further cemented his place in the boxing world. Joshua has demonstrated his capacity to adjust and overcome obstacles with each victory, laying the groundwork for what looks to be an exciting next phase in his career.
Many believe that Joshua will either wait to see the result of the Tyson Fury vs. Usyk fight in May or challenge Fillip Hrgovic for the IBF belt. There has been much speculation over Joshua’s next opponent. Recent events, nevertheless, imply that Joshua might have different ideas.
There have been reports, spurred by EverythingBoxing’s latest Instagram story, that Joshua has accepted an offer for his next bout. The article includes a picture of Joshua that appears to show him talking on the phone, which sparked rumors about the subject of the call and the possible adversary.
Though information is still limited, fans and commentators are anticipating more announcements with great anticipation due to the possibility that Joshua will return to the ring sooner than expected. Whatever route Anthony Joshua chooses to pursue—a rematch with Usyk, revenge against Fury, or a different opponent entirely—the boxing world will surely be intrigued by what he does next. Fans can only wait impatiently to discover what the heavyweight champion’s future holds as conjecture and excitement increase.
