Eddie Hearn Confirms Joshua Rematch Plans

News summary

Eddie Hearn has revealed that Anthony Joshua might have only one to three fights left in his career following a devastating knockout by Daniel Dubois, who retained his IBF heavyweight title. Despite the loss, Hearn indicated that Joshua is likely to activate a rematch clause, with the support of Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, who is eager for a sequel fight. Joshua's future opponents may include Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, although a rematch with Dubois is also on the table. Meanwhile, Conor Benn is poised for a return to the ring next February, targeting a grudge match against Chris Eubank Jr., as Benn's suspension for failed drug tests continues to be a point of contention. Eubank Jr. is lined up to fight Kamil Szeremeta in October, with both fighters keen on the high-stakes bout that could generate significant interest. Hearn remains optimistic about Benn's comeback and the potential for a blockbuster fight with Eubank Jr., emphasizing the commercial appeal of the matchup.
