Anthony Joshua to return to the ring in December
Anthony Joshua’s trainer Robert Garcia admits he was impressed by his fighter’s eagerness to get back in the ring straight after his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.
The American coach who was brought into the Brit’s team for the rematch with Ukraine revealed how Joshua wants to fight again in November but has been told to wait a further month by promoter Eddie Hearn.
Garcia believes December will be the right time for Joshua to return in what will be expected to be against a confidence-boosting opponent to get him back to winning ways.
Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn believes Tyson Fury will come up short if he faces Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title. WBC champion Fury and WBA, IBF and WBO title holder Usyk now look set for a mammoth matchup after the Ukrainian beat Joshua for a second time.
Usyk was superb as he outmaneuvered the Watford warrior to claim a split decision and move closer to becoming an undisputed champion at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.
