Eddie Hearn Drops Bombshell: Anthony Joshua's Next Opponent Revealed After Wilder's Shock Defeat!
Eddie Hearn wastes no time in unveiling Anthony Joshua's future challenger for 2024 following his impressive victory over Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder's unexpected loss to Joseph Parker. After securing three wins in 2023, including a thunderous fifth-round stoppage against Wallin, Joshua's career is on an upward trajectory. The Matchroom supremo, Hearn, disclosed that Filip Hrgovic, fresh off a knockout win over Mark de Mori in Saudi Arabia, is now slated to face Joshua. Hearn expressed unwavering confidence in Joshua's comeback, declaring, "He's back, he's destroying people in sparring, I believe he's the best heavyweight in the world." This strategic move signals a major reboot for Joshua as he eyes a return to world title contention, potentially setting the stage for a long-anticipated clash with Tyson Fury, who is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in February. The decision to bypass the originally planned Wilder matchup, following Wilder's defeat to Parker, showcases Hearn's commitment to steering Joshua toward new challenges. Despite the setback, Hearn remains optimistic about Joshua's unbeatable potential and envisions a massive year for the British heavyweight in 2024. As the boxing landscape reshapes itself, Hrgovic emerges as the chosen adversary, promising fans an exciting chapter in Joshua's journey. The unexpected turn of events amplifies the anticipation for what lies ahead in the dynamic world of heavyweight boxing. #EddieHearn #AnthonyJoshua #boxing #boxingnews
