- Jake Paul’s planned fight with Gervonta Davis was canceled after Davis encountered legal issues, prompting the search for a new opponent.
- Joshua has not fought since a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024, and Hearn frames any late‑2025 appearance as a short run-out ahead of 2026 plans.
