Anthony Joshua in Talks for Two-Fight Riyadh Season Deal, Matchroom Boxing Chairman Eddie Hearn Reveals

Matchroom Boxing chairman Eddie Hearn disclosed that Anthony Joshua is in talks to secure a pair of matches scheduled for late 2025 in Saudi Arabia as part of an agreement with Riyadh Season.
Joshua's talks follow his September knockout loss to Daniel Dubois and subsequent elbow surgery that sidelined him for months during rehabilitation.
Potential opponents include Dillian Whyte and Jared Anderson, although no decisions have been made, while bigger targets are fights with Dubois or Tyson Fury.
Hearn confirmed discussions aim for bouts in October through December 2025, with plans depending on developments in Usyk-Dubois and Fury's career status.
Joshua's return under this deal could reestablish his position among elite heavyweights and possibly pave the way for a long-anticipated British showdown with Fury.
