Anthony Joshua Will Undergo Surgery – Trainer

Ben Davison, trainer of former unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), has confirmed that his fighter will indeed have to undergo surgery.

– There was a period when he tried to go without surgery for as long as possible. You know, nobody wants to go under the knife unless it’s absolutely necessary. I spoke to him today — this is one of those cases where surgery is unavoidable. So he’ll have to deal with it.

– When can we expect to see him back in the ring if everything goes well?

– I don’t know. I haven’t spoken to the medical team to know when full recovery is expected.

Earlier, Joshua mentioned that he was scheduled to have elbow surgery in May. According to the Brit, recovery would take approximately six to eight weeks.

Anthony Joshua last fought in September, when he was knocked out in the fifth round by fellow Brit Daniel Dubois.
