According to David Price, Nigerian-born boxer Anthony Joshua can reclaim the heavyweight belt.

After Anthony Joshua's recent knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, former heavyweight boxer David Price has voiced faith in Joshua's ability to regain his title hopes.

Price thinks the 35-year-old Brit can recover and achieve success once more, despite the disappointment of the defeat, which was a major setback in Joshua's attempt to become a three-time world heavyweight champion.

Before the loss, Joshua had won four straight over illustrious opponents, including Francis Ngannou, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Jermaine Franklin.

Drawing on his personal experiences in the sport, Price commended Joshua's mental toughness.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, has listed possible opponents for Joshua's comeback to the ring, especially in light of heavyweight rival Tyson Fury's recent retirement declaration.

According to Hearn, seven fighters—Martin Bakole, Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang, Agit Kabayel, Daniel Dubois, and Joseph Parker—could be Joshua's next opponent.
