British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua has revealed he is preparing for surgery in order to resolve an ongoing issue that has been preventing his return to the ring.
The 2024 knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley left Joshua sidelined, leaving fans wondering when he would make his next appearance.
In a recent interview with DAZN, Joshua explained why he won’t be stepping into the ring anytime soon. “When do you want me back, people?” he asked, adding that he was focusing on getting his body back in shape.
“I need a little surgery on my elbow, a small surgery sometime in May. I’ll be out of the gym for about six to eight weeks. Once I’m healed, I’ll be back,” he confirmed.
Amidst growing rumors of a potential fight with Tyson Fury, Frank Warren, Fury’s former promoter, expressed optimism, saying, “It’s about whether Tyson wants it, and if AJ still wants it. It’s the fight everyone’s waiting for.”
The two heavyweights have traded jabs before, but a major showdown has yet to materialize. Fans are eagerly awaiting an update.
