Head of promotional company Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn I am sure that his client Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) is still one of the best fighters in the heavyweight division.
“Joshua lost two fights in a row, he is no longer a world champion. Of course, his star fell. But in my opinion, this guy is an elite heavyweight, he is in the top 3 heavyweights. Joshua wants to come back and win the world title again.
He is a man of the purest soul, the biggest plowman. He makes more sacrifices and takes on more commitments than any other athlete I have ever seen. And he’s my friend, which is why I’m so excited to have him back. I want him to come out and show people how good he is. I want him to believe in himself. I want him to enjoy life. I want him to appreciate what he has achieved. I want Joshua to step into the ring and make a name for himself,” Hearn said.
Joshua’s next fight will be on April 1 against Jermain Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs).
