Ex‑champion Hasim Rahman says Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are past their prime

Former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, age 53, announced he will return to the ring on July 14 in New York, though his opponent has not yet been named. In an interview he stated that reigning champion Tyson Fury’s career is effectively over, calling the 37‑year‑old “done” after recent bouts. Rahman also described both Fury and fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua as “old fighters” whose recent damage could affect any future encounter. He noted that Joshua is scheduled to fight Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on July 25, while Fury is expected to have another fight in August, with 41‑year‑old Nelson Hysa mentioned as a possible opponent. Rahman’s comments highlight the aging of the sport’s top heavyweight contenders as he prepares his own comeback.
