Timeline for Anthony Joshua’s next fight revealed as Tyson Fury grudge match hangs in balance
THE working timeline for Anthony Joshua’s ring return has been revealed.
The former two-time unified heavyweight champion hasn’t set foot in the ring since his demolition at the hands of Daniel Dubois last September.
![Anthony Joshua knocked down in a boxing match.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/daniel-dubois-stands-anthony-joshua-934897516_979a79.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
![Anthony Joshua in a boxing ring.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2024-anthony-joshua-fight-daniel-934891466.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
A rematch with Dubois was slated for February until AJ was convinced by his team to recover from niggling injuries.
And the golden boy of British boxing, according to Matchroom CEO Frank Smith, is now on course for a summer return.
In an interview with BetFred, he said: “There’s a lot of movement in the heavyweight division.
“You’ve got Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker on February 22nd , we’ve got to wait and see what Oleksandr Usyk does next.
“But I think you’ll see Anthony Joshua back out in the summer.”
A long-overdue domestic dust-up with Tyson Fury finally appeared to be on the cards for AJ after his fellow Brit suffered a second-straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last December.
But the Gypsy King seemingly put the final nail in the coffin of the Battle of Britain earlier this month by announcing his FIFTH retirement.
Long-time AJ pal and promoter Eddie Hearn, however, isn’t buying Fury’s latest hanging up of the gloves.
The Matchroom Boxing chief told iFL TV: “I saw that coming.
“I think, if you ever want to come back and get the max you’ve gotta retire first, ain’t you?

“Someone’s gotta bring you out of retirement. So listen, if that’s the last we see of Tyson Fury, good luck to him.
“I doubt it, personally, but whatever he chooses to do much respect to him.”
He later told The Daily Mail: “None of us know what Fury will do next.
“But if we are to see the fight in the summer, he would probably have to come out of retirement in the next three or four weeks.
“After that, the summer gets difficult for a fight of this size.
“The future? Hopefully – I think he will be back, but it’s in his hands.
“For AJ, we have options to pursue and we are looking at them currently.”

The mum-of-one looked fabulous as she posed on set in the RTE studios.
The Galway beauty stepped out on air in a chic ornate detailed blouse for yesterday’s show.
Maura’s fabulous blouse was from Pia Margot Boutique’s online store.
The stunning piece is out of stock in Maura’s design, however other blouses in different colours and patterns retail on their site for €48.
She paired the elegant top with a pair of tan brown leather pants that she tucked into her blouse.
To round off her on-air outfit, Maura popped on a pair of cream pointed-toe heels.
She captioned her stylish post: “Outfit of the day.”
Friends and fans raced to the presenter’s comment section to gush over her sense of style.
Noreen said: “Lovely outfit Maura, Looking great.”
Michelle remarked: “Fabulous Maura.”
Another fan added: “Your usual beautiful self Maura.”
BEST WISHES
Recently Maura took to her Instagram to update fans on the damage caused to her family as a result of storm Eowyn.
She said: “Hope you are all safe and sound after the storm. The gutter fell off our house during the night, but it was nothing compared to what my family and friends went through on Inis Mór and other parts of the country.
“I still can’t get in touch with my sister on the island as the phones are not working there, and the electricity went out at 2am.
“Thinking of all of you today who may have had damage to your homes and property.
“Hopefully we can provide a bit of respite from the gales today. I wouldn’t be going for a walk in this dress today!
“But it’s perfect inside the studio where it’s warm and cozy.”
‘White Witch of Rye’ avoids jail for controlling what ‘wizard’, 82, ate, drank & wore in terrifying stalking campaign
A BARRISTER dubbed the “White Witch of Rye” has avoided jail after storming into the home of a “wizard” and taking over his life.
Barbara Maura Lane, 42, became obsessed with 82-year-old Alfred Douglas after signing up for his magic course.
![Barbara Maura Lane, a barrister known as the "White Witch of Rye," at a procession.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/barbara-maura-lane-barrister-known-968109602.png?strip=all&w=628)
![Woman in black coat and sunglasses at a crown court trial.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/acting-lewes-crown-court-crown-968113784.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
She launched a terrifying stalking campaign against the self-proclaimed wizard that culminated in her her smashing up his home.
Lane also bombarded Alfred with calls and texts and in 2020, persuaded him to let her stay in his home after spinning a web of lies.
Once inside, she took control of the widow’s life – including putting herself in charge of his bank card and account.
Lane also controlled what he ate, drank and wore and blocked him from seeing friends and family.
When locals in Rye, East Sussex, expressed concerns for the ageing wizard, Lane claimed he was senile and that she was his carer.
Lane has now avoided jail after pleading guilty to harassment and criminal damage.
The court heard she first visited the wizard’s home under the guise of seeing his library on the occult.
After persuading Alfred to let her stay, he and Lane – dubbed the “White Witch of Rye” by locals – became “inseparable”.
But their friendship soon turned sour when Lane began to take over every aspect of his life.
She allegedly forced Alfred to change his will – making her the sole beneficiary of his home and shop – worth around £1.5million.
Lane would also fly into drunken rages and smash up Alfred’s belongings after downing mugfuls of gin.
She would stand at the foot of his bed and throw books at him and told the widow he was old, sick and dying.
At one stage, Alfred resorted to putting “big bolts” on his bedroom to protect himself from Lane.
When Lane managed to snap these off, the wizard had to wedge a chair and piles of books against the door.
The campaign finally came to an end when the Irish republican lashed out after seeing a portrait of the King and Union Jack bunting in his shop.
Lane smashed up a glass panel on his front door and his greenhouse before pushing Alfred out of his home and allegedly attacking his family.
After she was arrested, lying Lane told police she was Alfred’s carer and that he owed her £6,000.
She was charged with seven offences including stalking, criminal damage and assault.
Lane was convicted of harassment without violence and criminal damage but the other charges were left to lie on the file.
After the case Alfred’s family spoke of his ordeal and said the experience had left him “shattered and upset.”
His nephew, Paul Wilson-Patterson and his wife Anna said: “We’re very relieved that this bizarre episode is behind us. It has left my uncle shattered and upset.
“Barbara Maura Lane was treated with great kindness and generosity; she responded with malicious and violent behaviour.
“Her vicious cruelty to our family friends has caused great sadness. Her drunken rages have resulted in criminal damage to our Uncle’s property, which has taken many months to repair and replace.
“She then breached her bail agreement and continued to persistently harass family members by phone, email, post and social media for several months. Anyone who lets this person into their lives, is at risk.”
