Anthony Joshua has been warned by his promoter Eddie Hearn that his "career is over" if he loses on his return.
Joshua has suffered back-to-back defeats against rival Oleksandr Usyk who inflicted a second loss on 'AJ' in Saudi Arabia last August. The British star is in desperate need of redemption upon his return to have any chance of returning to the pinnacle of the division, and is planning a three-fight year in 2023.
It is expected the 33-year-old heavyweight will make his return in April with a whole host of opponents in the running to secure the clash including Demsey McKean and Otto Wallin. And Hearn has demanded his charge arrests his recent slump in form.
