Eddie Hearn’s Risky Plan to Resurrect Anthony Joshua’s Career Against A Dangerous Tune-Up Opponent

Eddie Hearn Says They’ve been to Choose Anthony Joshua’s Tune-Up Opponent for Early 2026 to prepare Him for the Summer Against The Man He Hopes Will Be Hopes Fury.

The Weighing of Risks

Hearn Wants to Avoid Joshua (28-4, 25 kos) Suffering An Upset Defeat and Ruining His Plans for Popular Heavyweights. The Four Names Has Heart Still Still Still Him for Him, As He’ll Have Been The Ring Out of 16 to 17 months Fifth-Round Knockout Loss to Daniel Dubois 21, 2024.

Joshua’s Four Candidates

• Tony Yoka
• Efe Jagba
• Frank Sanchez
• Jared Anderson

Those Even Still Risky Fights for Joshua, Who Turns 36 Next Month October 15. Ajagba (20-1-1, 14 kos) Would be a potential Nightmare Due to His Power and 6’6 “Size. With A Cannon Right Hand, He could Ruin Hearn’s Plans for AJ.

The 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist Tony Yoka (14-3, 11 cos) isn’t Easy Out Either. He Can Punch, and His 6’7 “Size Makes Him A Threat to Joshua. Although Although Lost Several Times in The Last Three Years, Those Competitive Fights in What He Lot Lot Of Lot Of Heavy Shots.

“We’ve got to Choose Carefully, and I Think The Best Way to Be Honest and Say The Next Fight To Be a Comeback Fight to Build Of The Dicer Next Summer,” Eddie Hearn Said Sky Sports Boxing. “We Want That to Be Against Tyson Fury. If It’s Not, It’s Going To Be A Massive Fight.”

The Safer Path Options

There Are Heavyweights Heavyweights Near The Top 15 That Joshua Could Fight That Would Have A Winning Better Chance. Given That He’s Coming Off to a Long Break and A Bad Knockout Loss to Dubois, Choosing One of These Fighters, I Believe, Would Be A Safer Choice for AJ:

1. Johnny Fisher
2. Joseph Goodall
3. Michael Hunter
4. Mahmoud car

“We Need a Top-15 Guy (Next).

A History of Rebuilds

For Joshua’s Four-Fight Rebuild Job in 2023 and 2024, Hearn Chose Four Lower-Level Fighters Whom He Did Well Against. Although Technically Otto Walllin and Jermaine Franklin Were Contenders, Threat To Beating Him. Those Types Of Heavyweights Would Be Perfect for AJ to Fight in Early 2026 to Keep Him On A Summer Blockbuster.

“A defeat now at this Stage of His Career Would Be Devastating To Those Plans. So We Need to Get It Right,” Said Hearn.

Another Knockout Loss Would Put Joshua in a position where he would do to decide whether it’s worth it. With His Power, Speed, Size, He Could Rebuild HimsSelf Quickly I Could Stay Busy Enough to Squeeze in Three Or Four Fights in A Year and A Half. That’s unlikely, Given His Age and His Increasing Tendency to Fight Once A Year.
