British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua is preparing for a return to the ring months after a tragic car accident that deeply impacted his career and personal life.
Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has confirmed plans to resume his boxing career following a fatal car accident that occurred in Nigeria late last year.
The incident, which reportedly claimed the lives of two of his close associates, forced the boxer to step away from active competition as he dealt with the emotional and physical aftermath.
After months of recovery and renewed training, Joshua is now targeting a comeback fight scheduled for July 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The bout is expected to mark a significant step in his return journey, as he looks to rebuild momentum in the heavyweight division and re-establish himself among boxing’s elite.
Joshua has indicated that the upcoming fight will serve as a foundation for bigger contests later in the year, with growing anticipation around a potential clash with fellow heavyweight Tyson Fury.
Before the accident, Joshua had been in strong form, recording an impressive victory in his last outing and positioning himself for major fights on the global stage.
Joshua’s planned return is generating excitement across the boxing world, with fans eager to see how the former champion responds after a difficult period and whether he can reclaim his place at the top of the sport.
