Anthony Joshua has revealed he is set to undergo surgery in a bit to solve an ongoing issue that has delayed his return to the ring.
The Brit has been out of action since he lost against Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024, with his future up in the air on the back of the devastating knockout defeat.
Fans have been curious as to what his next move is, with no announcements made despite reports he could face long-time rival Tyson Fury as soon as this year.
In March, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed his man was ‘not ready to start camp’ and needed eight more weeks to build up his fitness on the back of a setback on an injury.
Joshua had, though, been in training at the time, but it appears he has now suffered yet another setback as he now prepares to go under the knife to finally solve the issue that has been bothering him for a number of months.
It remains possible that the former world champion will fight this year, but, speaking to DAZN on Saturday night, he explained why he won’t be in the ring any time soon.
‘When do you want me back, people?’ Joshua asked in the interview. ‘I’m trying to get my body right. I have got to actually have a little surgery on my elbow.
‘A small surgery sometime in May. I’m finalising the details.
‘That will see me out of the gym for maybe six to eight weeks, and then when I’m healed, I will be back.’
