Overview
- Hearn says Joshua remains undecided about working with Team Usyk, describing the recent visit as a fact-finding exercise.
- After a 14-month layoff since his stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois, a decision is expected this week on whether he will box before year-end.
- If he returns in 2025, Hearn expects a low-key tune-up rather than a stadium event, with plans potentially kept quiet until fight week.
- Possible slots include Matchroom’s December shows in Monaco or Ghana, with Sky Sports also pointing to the Dec 27 Riyadh card headlined by Naoya Inoue.
- Talks about a Jake Paul bout are exploratory with no formal offer, and broadcast arrangements could be a hurdle, while a Tyson Fury fight is viewed as a longer-term possibility.
