British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has returned to full training, marking a significant step toward his comeback after a difficult period that disrupted his career late last year.
Joshua rejoined training camp on March 19, 2026, working alongside the team of Oleksandr Usyk as he intensifies preparations for his next bout.
The former world champion had stepped away from professional activities following a December 2025 car accident in Nigeria, which reportedly claimed the lives of two individuals close to him. The incident led to a temporary pause in his career as he focused on recovery and personal matters.
Now back in camp, Joshua is training under the guidance of experienced coach Iegor Golub, with sessions focused on refining his technique and improving conditioning ahead of a projected return to the ring in July 2026. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, has indicated that preparations are on track for a summer comeback.

His return has also fueled fresh speculation about a possible clash with Tyson Fury later in the year, a long-awaited matchup that continues to generate excitement among fans and analysts.
With Joshua back in training, attention now turns to the heavyweight division, where his comeback could reshape the landscape in the months ahead.
