However, Joshua has been out of action for over a year, he has told fans he needed a reset after the Daniel Dubois defeat in September 2024.
Joshua said: “I always say this: For every time you win there is a reason. For every time you lose, there is a reason.
“So… Why I pause is, when you lose you tend to take a deeper look at yourself. Take time to figure out what went wrong. I had to look at the reasons why I lost and I said to myself ‘I think I need a bit of time.’
“I predicted this moment in… 2018? Not the loss, but the work I was taking on was a lot.
“Inside training, preparing for fights, working outside of boxing – for any man or any woman, at some stage they probably need a bit of a reset.
“I came to that stage really in 2025 where it was that time. I thought ‘you know what, I think I need a year out of the game.”
