Promoter Eddie Hearn is not sure that heavyweight Anthony Joshua will box at all in 2025, instead with the former unified champion returning to the ring early in next year.

Former world 168 and 175lbs champion Andre Ward has refused to shut down speculation of a bout with heavyweight Anthony Joshua.

Former WBC heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder says he has his eye on Francis Ngannou – and possibly another 10 years of professional prizefighting.

Anthony Joshua’s future is in question. Should he keep fighting if he’s medically cleared, and would a showdown with Tyson Fury still make sense? Or is a tune-up fight the smarter move before chasing the biggest names? The BoxingScene Today crew debates Joshua's next steps.

“Right now, all that’s in my mind in an ideal scenario is to fight Tyson Fury next year,” says promoter Eddie Hearn.

The goal of Jake Paul facing Gervonta Davis in November never changed, says Nakisa Bidarian – and Anthony Joshua is still in the picture for Paul in 2026.

Matchroom CEO Frank Smith says a contest between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is still a possibility for early 2026

Jake Paul deserves credit for what he's accomplished in boxing, but Eric Raskin says a potential fight with Anthony Joshua is too dangerous for Paul and too embarrassing for Joshua.

As fight week starts ahead of his biggest test in the pros so far, Moses Itauma is not ruling out a possible future fight with undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
