In a bid to reclaim his status as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua is set to embark on a challenging journey, with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn unveiling a roadmap that could culminate in a historic showdown.
Following his emphatic knockout victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou earlier this year, Joshua’s path to redemption has been meticulously planned.
Hearn, in a recent interview with The Sun, disclosed that Joshua’s next challenge will be against Daniel Dubois in September. However, the ultimate goal remains to regain the world heavyweight title.
“I expect the winner of the December fight to fight Anthony Joshua if he wins in September,” Hearn declared, outlining the ambitious plans for Joshua’s future in the ring.
While the opponent for Joshua’s potential title shot is yet to be decided, Hearn hinted at a pool of contenders vying for the opportunity.
“The first priority is to regain the world heavyweight title, and obviously undisputed has always been the dream,” Hearn emphasized.
With the tantalizing prospect of becoming the undisputed champion looming large, Joshua finds himself just two fights away from etching his name in boxing history.
However, standing in Joshua’s path is the formidable Oleksandr Usyk, who recently made waves in the boxing world by dethroning Tyson Fury in a historic showdown.
Last month, Usyk secured a split decision victory over Fury, marking a significant shift in the landscape of the heavyweight division.
Usyk’s triumph not only handed him the WBC title but also added to his already impressive collection of belts, including the WBA (Super), WBO, IBF, and IBO titles. With this monumental win,
Usyk became the first boxer since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to unify the heavyweight division, cementing his status as a force to be reckoned with.
As the dust settles from Usyk’s momentous victory, all eyes now turn to the impending clash between Joshua and Dubois in September. With the heavyweight division witnessing a resurgence of competition and intrigue, the stakes have never been higher for Joshua as he seeks to reclaim his throne.
The road ahead is fraught with challenges, but Joshua’s unwavering determination and Hearn’s strategic planning offer a glimmer of hope for fans eager to witness boxing history in the making.
With the tantalizing prospect of a showdown against Usyk or Fury on the horizon, Joshua finds himself standing at the precipice of redemption, ready to seize his moment and etch his name among the legends of the sport.
As the countdown to September begins, the world eagerly awaits the next chapter in Anthony Joshua’s quest for redemption and the realization of his undisputed dreams.
