Anthony Joshua would be ready to ‘walk straight’ in to a big fight despite the news that he has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury, according to Frank Warren

The Brit has been out of action since he lost against Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024, with his future up in the air on the back of the devastating knockout defeat.

Fans have been curious as to what his next move is, with no announcements made despite reports he could face long-time rival Tyson Fury as soon as this year.

And promoter Eddie Hearn revealed last week that he still needs another eight weeks or so to return from injury when he was asked if Joshua could face Dubois in rematch after the champion pulled out of his defence against Joseph Parker due to illness.

The options for Joshua look limited with Fury ‘retired’ and Dubois targeting an undisputed heavyweight title Oleksandr Usyk.
