Eddie Hearn believes Anthony Joshua will return to the ring, but will he? The boxing world is abuzz with speculation about the heavyweight champion's future after a devastating car crash claimed the lives of two of his friends. Hearn, Joshua's promoter, provides a glimmer of hope, stating he 'expects' Joshua to fight again, but is it too soon to tell?
The 36-year-old Joshua, a two-time world champion, was involved in a tragic road accident in Nigeria, resulting in minor injuries for him and the loss of two close companions. Despite this, he has shown incredible resilience, returning to training in January and sharing his journey on social media, calling it 'mental strength therapy'.
Hearn, who has been with Joshua since his professional debut after the 2012 Olympics, remains optimistic. In an interview, he revealed his thoughts on Joshua's comeback, acknowledging the emotional and physical challenges the boxer has faced. Hearn said, "While I can't guarantee Joshua's return, I believe he will fight again. It's a passion he carries deep within, and a way to honor his friends' memories."
But here's where it gets controversial. Hearn admits Joshua's physical recovery has been arduous, and the public may not grasp the full extent of his struggles. This raises questions: Is Joshua mentally and physically ready to step back into the ring? And if he does, how will this life-altering experience impact his performance?
As Joshua continues his training, the boxing community eagerly awaits his next move. Will he reclaim his former glory, or will the emotional weight of his friends' passing affect his boxing career? Only time will tell, and the world will be watching.
