Joshua targets early 2026 return before ‘roll of the dice’ Fury mega-fight

Anthony Joshua is on track to return in a comeback fight in early 2026 before a "roll of the dice" blockbuster next summer.After Joshua's loss to Daniel Dubois last September, a lingering elbow injury would not heal and eventually required an operation. That has kept the 35-year-old out of action but he has now resumed training. His next fight back will most likely be in January or the start of February. He would not return to an immediate contest with a top-level heavyweight but will target a tune-up bout against world top-15 calibre opponent before pursuing the biggest names in the division.The ultimate target, though, remains Tyson Fury, a great all-British showdown that has so far eluded Joshua.

Mladá hvězda dala přednost Česku před Nizozemskem. Jednadvacítka má posilu do útoku

„V Dordrechtu pravidelně nastupuje, dává góly. Produktivní byl i v přípravě. Je vysoký, rychlý, s dobrým zakončením. Mohl by být pro nás vhodnou alternativou do útoku,“ řekl Bílek na páteční nominační tiskové konferenci.Eduardo vyrůstal v Nizozemsku, které reprezentoval v nižších mládežnických kategoriích. Například ještě loni v březnu nastoupil za Oranjes proti české osmnáctce. Na podzim 2024 už ale odehrál 3 přípravy za tuzemskou devatenáctku. Teď dostal pozvánku do jednadvacítky, která pod novým trenérem Bílkem vstoupí do kvalifikace o ME U21 v roce 2027.„Byla dohoda, že po první zkušenosti v devatenáctce se trochu odmlčí a rozhodne se, jaký stát bude reprezentovat. S Pavlem Nedvědem (generální manažer českých reprezentací) jsme se pustili do komunikace s ním i hráčovým manažerem. Jsem rád, že se Yannick rozhodl pro nás. Je to typologicky jiný útočník, než které máme,“ podotkl Bílek s tím, že Eduardo mluví obstojně česky.V 16 letech se Eduardo připojil k mládežnické akademii RB Lipsko, s bundesligovým klubem podepsal kontrakt do roku […]
