‘Joshua still has five fights before retirement’

Hearn, who had previously hinted that Joshua might be nearing the end of his career, now believes the Briton has found a new rhythm under coach Ben Davison. This newfound form, Hearn claims, could eventually lead to the much-anticipated showdown with fellow Brit Tyson Fury.

“If you look back after the Oleksandr Usyk fights, you might have said, ‘How many more fights? Three? Five?’ Well, we’ve had four since then, and now we’re saying five still,” Hearn told the media, suggesting that Joshua’s career is far from over.

Joshua’s career took a hit after suffering consecutive losses to Usyk in 2021 and 2022, losing his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles.

However, since then, he has embarked on a remarkable comeback, winning four consecutive fights against Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou. His recent victories have solidified his position as a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division.

Hearn is keen to keep Joshua active in the coming years, mapping out a string of major fights.
