Anthony Joshua coach discusses 'unlikely' June return to ring

Anthony Joshua's coach Robert McCracken has admitted that it does not seem as though Joshua will be returning to the ring any time soon amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis. Joshua was set to take on Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20, and as yet there has been no word on how the global pandemic has affected the bout. However, speaking to Boxingscene.com McCracken did not appear optimistic of the event going ahead as planned. "I spoke to him this week," McCracken said on Joshua. "He is staying at home and trying to do some keep fit in his house. A bit of stretching, a bit of circuits and a bit of shadowboxing. He is in the same boat as anybody. The world is on pause. "My guess, and it is only a guess, is that it will be at least another month before the lockdown ends. It is probably unlikely I would have thought. The way this is you have to get the world back going again. With the coronavirus, you have to plan to get people in and maybe people will be going into quarantine, so you can't do anything."
