Anthony Joshua’s career may be ending sooner than we thought
- Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua's promoter, predicts that 2026 will "probably" be Joshua's last year as a professional boxer.
- Joshua, 35, has not fought since his defeat to Daniel Dubois in September.
- Hearn believes that fighting Tyson Fury is the only thing left for Joshua to accomplish before retiring.
- Hearn suggests Joshua could have two fights with Tyson Fury and then retire, feeling he would have achieved everything.
- While Hearn would like Joshua to have another shot at Dubois and Usyk, he believes beating Fury twice would be a fitting end to his career.
