Eddie Hearn has stated to that he will not consider allowing Anthony Joshua to undergo another drawn-out reconstruction.

After losing to Daniel Dubois via knockout last month, AJ is now debating whether to face his British opponent again right away in February.

To the amazement of many in the boxing community, Dubois outclassed Joshua and knocked him out.

Joshua seems to be leaning toward this option, although some outside observers have indicated that given the way the loss occurred, it may not be the best course of action for him.

Some have even advised Hearn that AJ would benefit from a series of smaller bouts in order to recover.

But he only recently accomplished it after losing to Alexander Usyk, going on a four-fight winning streak until being knocked out by Dubois, so it doesn’t seem likely that he will start over.

Hearn told: “Someone said to me yesterday, I think AJ should like three or four rebuild fights. I was like, ‘Are you crazy?’

“The only thing that motivates Anthony Joshua away from his own personal performance is the world heavyweight championship.

“Of course, the Tyson Fury fight interests him, of course it does, but he wants to win the world heavyweight championship again.

“And getting a shot at the world title, particularly in a division with a unified champion, is very difficult to get.”

As things stand, no final decision has been rendered by Joshua on his next move.

Hearn initially suggested he should perhaps leave the Dubois rematch and instead prioritise a potential meeting with Fury, should he lose to Usyk again in their December 21 rematch.

However, it seems as though the chance at immediate revenge may be too tempting to pass up.

Hearn and AJ are in the process of figuring out what’s next.

Explaining the latest on the decision making process, Hearn continued: “I think that we’ve had our time now, almost. It’s coming up to a month.

“So the main things for AJ were obviously to reflect, to physically get checked over, to look at the date of February, which is the proposed show, and seeing if he’d be ready physically for that date.

“But more importantly, if that was the right fight to take, and I think time helps make that decision a little bit.

“The immediate reaction in the aftermath is sometimes very different after reflection.

“Anthony will make the decision 100 per cent himself, but with the input of me, 258, Ben Davison, and all of his team.

“But he will be the one that makes the ultimate decision.”
