Oleksandr Usyk played major role in deciding Anthony Joshua’s next fight

Eddie Hearn has revealed that Oleksandr Usyk played a key role in shaping Anthony Joshua's next fight plans. Joshua has been offered a two-fight deal by Turki Alalshikh, with the first bout expected in July 2025 and a long-awaited clash with Tyson Fury slated for November. Joshua has not fought since his sixth-round stoppage of Jake Paul in December, and has also been recovering from a tragic car crash in Nigeria that same month which claimed the lives of two close friends.
