Anthony Joshua’s Boxing Future: Barry Hearn predicts a 2-3 fight before retirement

Barry Hearn says Anthony Joshua can have a 2-on-3 fight before he retires from the sport. 12-year pro Joshua (28-4, 25 Kos) shows the age of 35 and makes enough money so he doesn’t have to come out of retirement like some fighters.

The road to AJ’s retirement

“He’s not going to last forever. He’s 35. He’s a great deal of trust and he actually reinvented boxing on his own,” Barry Hearn said. Talksport Boxinggives his thoughts about Anthony Joshua. “We had him for 12 years. I think He’ll have another two or three fights And then we head out in the sunset. Eddie did the job. I knew he would grow. ”

Hearn gave no hints as to who he believes will fight before Joshua retires. We know that Jake Paul could be one of them, but aside from him, it’s a mystery that AJ will fight. Eddie Hearn still hopes that Tyson Fury will face him before he retires forever. But the Gypsy King’s massive $160 million fortune allows him to afford to ignore Joshua if he doesn’t get carried away with the fight.

Possible options for Joshua before retirement

1. Tony Yoka
2. Jake Paul
3. Deontay Wilder

Matchroom Star Exit

“He’s not a problem for 12 years. I look forward to him finishing. AJ is part of our family,” Barry said.

After becoming a pro in 2013, Joshua made a lot of money in Matchroom, but didn’t have to do much to bring in revenue. That’s amazing. He never fought Deontay Wilder and lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk and was knocked out by Andy Ruiz.

AJ did not fight any major opposition except for Usyk. Wladimir Klitschko was 40 years old when he fought Joshua in 2017, and in his 20s and early 30s he wasn’t close to vintage shapes. Ruiz Jr. was a career-skilled candidate when he was selected as an alternative opponent in his first fight in 2019 and had not won a candidate for Fringe.
