Eddie Hearn, promoter of Anthony Joshua, advises his fighter to wait for the outcome of the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch on December 21 before deciding on his next steps. Joshua recently suffered a fifth-round knockout by Daniel Dubois, which has derailed immediate plans for a mega-fight with Fury, who was in attendance at the clash. Hearn suggests that if Fury loses, it could pave the way for a significant fight with Joshua; if Fury wins, he might defend his title against Joshua. There is currently no rematch clause for Joshua and Dubois, but Hearn believes a rematch is likely given Joshua's confidence and desire for redemption. Despite the setback, Joshua remains contracted for another bout in Riyadh, indicating that 2025 could still hold exciting opportunities for him in the heavyweight division. Fans and experts are keenly awaiting both the Fury-Usyk rematch and Joshua's next move in a changing heavyweight landscape.
