Anthony Joshua suffered a devastating knockout defeat against Daniel Dubois in his last fight. And according to Eddie Hearn, rumors of his next fight being a done deal are false.

Joshua and Bakole have been linked with one another for a number of years, with Bakole claiming he had ‘AJ’ hurt during an infamous sparring session. Bakole’s promoter Ben Shalom spoke about the proposed match-up last week, stating that the fight between ‘AJ’ and Bakole has already been signed.

Eddie Hearn has denied reports that Anthony Joshua’s next fight has been agreed with either Deontay Wilder or Martin Bakole. Joshua is expected to make his return to the ring in the summer. He is coming off the fourth defeat of his career after Daniel Dubois knocked him out in the fifth round.

Speaking with Chris Mannix last night in Las Vegas, Eddie Hearn gave the latest on what move former two-time heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua may make next.

Anthony Joshua's team have responded to recent reports claiming his next fight will be against Martin Bakole in Africa.

In a development that could echo the historic Rumble in the Jungle, discussions are underway for a high-profile heavyweight bout between former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua and rising contender Martin Bakole.
