British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has disclosed that former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is set to resume training camp ahead of a summer comeback fight.
Recall that Joshua last fought on December 19 when he stopped YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in six rounds. But ten days after that victory, tragedy struck when the former world champion was involved in a horrible road crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his close friends, Kevin ‘Latz’ Ayodele and recovery therapist Sina Ghami.
Speaking with iFL TV, Hearn expressed his excitement that the British boxer will be returning to training for a summer fight despite all he has gone through.
“And I feel like AJ is physically and perhaps mentally ready to throw himself back in to that environment.

“And it’s exciting, I mean, for everything that he’s been through and all the pain, I don’t think that will leave.
“But he has a career and he has a job to do in that respect, which he wants to continue doing. And I’m excited to see him back.
“I feel like with fighters – some may disagree watching this – but generally I feel like they’re at their happiest when they’re in training camp.
“Like everything’s there. The regiment is there, the discipline is there, the focus is there, intention’s there, the end goal is there.
“And although it’s a lot of hard work, I really feel like AJ as well when he’s in training camp, that’s him.”
