British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has broken silence on why Anthony Joshua’s potential fight with YouTuber Jake Paul collapsed.
‘AJ’ has been rumoured for months to make a return to the squared circle later this year, with November being talked about heavily.
However, after it was recently announced that Jake Paul will be fighting Gervonta Davis in November, plans have seemingly been pushed back for the former heavyweight world champion’s return.

In a chat with Fight Hype, Hearn stated that Joshua’s next fight may come in January or February against another opponent.
“We knew Jake might fight in November, we didn’t expect it to be Gervonta.
“So I don’t really know how that affects us in terms of would we do that fight? The issue is we won’t wait till November.
We are not going to wait until November to make our move, so it is very likely Anthony Joshua will fight in January or February against someone else.”
