Sports247 gathered that this was revealed by Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, who parried talk about a highly-anticipated showdown with fellow-British heavyweight, Tyson Fury.
Hearn also refused to make any comment on escalating speculation that ‘AJ’ might have opted to put an end to his boxing career altogether, after the fatal accident he survived in Ogun State that claimed the lives of two of his bosom friends.
A report by TalkSPORT revealed that Hearn told Jim White: “To be honest at this stage, it is a no comment from us. Just out of respect to Anthony.
“With everything he has been through and the tragic loss of Sina and Latz. At the moment, Anthony needs time and privacy. There will be no conversations from us about his career.
“Nothing about any move or what’s next. This is a terrible tragedy and he’s going to need his own time to heal physically and emotionally.
“There is nothing to discuss and prayers for him and the families of all those involved in this terrible incident.”
