Anthony Joshua's Return to the Ring? Eddie Hearn Shares Update After Tragic Crash (2026)

Despite the tragic loss of two close friends, Eddie Hearn, the promoter of Anthony Joshua, remains optimistic about the boxer's future in the ring. In an interview, Hearn expressed his belief that Joshua will return to boxing, stating, 'I don't think there are any guarantees he fights again, but at the same time I expect him to, because it is something that he loves.'

Joshua, a two-time world champion, suffered minor injuries in a road traffic accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele. Despite the tragedy, Joshua has shown resilience by returning to training in January, sharing a video of his workouts with the message 'mental strength therapy'.

However, Hearn acknowledges that Joshua's physical and mental recovery may take time. He explains, 'From a boxing sense, physically it wasn't easy what he went through either. People probably don't realize the extent of that.' Hearn also notes that Joshua is not yet ready to resume full boxing training.

Joshua's journey to recovery and his potential return to the ring have sparked curiosity and discussion among boxing fans. But here's where it gets controversial... Will Joshua's love for the sport be enough to overcome the challenges he faces? And this is the part most people miss... The extent of Joshua's injuries and the impact of his loss may be more significant than we realize. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments.
