Anthony Joshua targeting July return but won’t fight Tyson Fury next following fatal car crash, says Eddie Hearn | Boxing News

Anthony Joshua is targeting a return to the ring in July after surviving a fatal car crash in December but will not yet be fighting Tyson Fury next, according to his promoter Eddie Hearn.

Joshua was involved in a road traffic accident while visiting family in Nigeria over Christmas, which resulted in two of his friends and members of his training team, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, being killed.

Joshua, who was initially hospitalised, had just beaten Jake Paul in a sixth-round knockout victory in Miami.

Fury is currently gearing up to face Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11 in what will mark his first fight since losing in a rematch to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024.
