Promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated that Anthony Joshua could return to the ring in July under a proposed two-fight arrangement tied to Riyadh Season. The plan, as outlined in interviews with talkSPORT and Sky Sports, would set up a high-profile showdown with Tyson Fury later in the year. Joshua, a former two-time heavyweight champion, has been out of action since December, when he secured a knockout victory in his last bout. Since then, he has resumed training and was recently seen ringside as Fury defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov in a comeback performance that reignited talk of a long-anticipated all-British clash.

The driver of the car involved in the crash that left British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua injured and claimed the lives of two of his associates has appeared before a magistrate's court in Ogun State, Nigeria. Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, who was behind the wheel of the Lexus SUV conveying Joshua, was arraigned at the Sagamu Magistrates' Court on charges bordering on reckless and negligent driving, Prosecutors accused him of causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and attention, and operating a vehicle without a valid driver's licence.

Following the collision that claimed the lives of two of his pals, boxer Anthony Joshua was discharged from a Nigerian hospital, according to authorities. On Monday, Sina Ghami and Latif "Latz" Ayodele perished when their car, together with Joshua, collided with a stationary truck on a major route close to Lagos. Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, was discharged on Wednesday despite suffering injuries, according to Lagos State Commissioner for Information Gbenga Omotoso. In a joint statement with Ogun State, which he posted on X, Mr Omotoso said Joshua was "deemed clinically fit to recuperate from home."
