Former super-middleweight champion George Groves has claimed that Anthony Joshua does not deserve a place in the Hall of Fame. Joshua has not fought since losing to Daniel Dubois in September 2024 and recently underwent elbow surgery, but is expected to return to the ring in the coming months.
Groves stated that Joshua did not beat anyone to justify Hall of Fame induction, despite his wins over Charles Martin, Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, Alexander Povetkin, Andy Ruiz Jr and Otto Wallin. He suggested that victories over Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk might change that.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn indicated a decision on his next fight will be made soon, with a possible low-key undercard appearance before Christmas. Hearn also ruled out a fight with Jake Paul, despite discussions.
Meanwhile, the Chris Eubank Jr versus Conor Benn rematch is set for Saturday, November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, broadcast live on DAZN pay-per-view.
