Anthony Joshua Makes Unprecedented Behind-The-Scenes Move Before Boxing Comeback trucc
Anthony Joshua is making extraordinary moves as he gets ready for his highly-anticipated return to the boxing ring.
The former two-weight heavyweight champion has not boxed since suffering a fifth-round knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois in 2024, which was his third loss in seven bouts. Joshua has been linked with a wide array of opponents, from Jake Paul to Tony Yoka and Martin Bakole. His long-time promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, said that he could fight this year as a co-main fighter, indicating AJ is looking to get reps in before taking on another big challenge.
But before any decision is made regarding who and when he'll be fighting, Joshua is making the rounds behind-the-scenes in an apparent bid to expand his knowledge base.
Anthony Joshua's Extraordinary Moves Behind-The-Scenes
Joshua has some of the most significant wins in modern heavyweight history thanks to his up-and-down battle with Wladimir Klitschko, his decision win over Joseph Parker, and his thumping victory over Alexander Povetkin. And though Andy Ruiz and Dubois scored finishes over him, he's gone to Team Usyk to see if he can understand more about the game, and those who operate within it at an elite level.
British sports reporter Chris McKenna confirmed the link-up recently on X, formerly Twitter.
"Anthony Joshua has spent time with Oleksandr Usyk's team as he looks set to change trainers."
Ring Magazine confirmed the report the next day, on Sunday.
According to Ring, Joshua visited Usyk's training facility in Valencia, Spain, which the Ukrainian's team manager Sergey Lapin manages. Joshua, who has worked with Robert Garcia, Derrick James, and Rob McCracken, is looking to hire a new trainer as he enters another rebuild phase in the twilight of his career.
Though Hearn hinted recently that Joshua could return to boxing in a co-main event for one of Matchroom's upcoming shows in 2025, he said last week to ESPN that a return date in February is now far more likely. "The key thing is he's back in full training camp now," Hearn said. "But to go in December, it's a very fast turnaround." "He will fight in February, whatever happens. Whether that's a second fight or whether that's his first fight back."
RHOC’s Emily Simpson Opens Up About Hilarious Wife Swap Mix-Up trucc
Apparently, nobody really explained the situation to Emily Simpson before she signed up for Wife Swap: Real Housewives Edition. Prior to traveling to Park Ridge, New Jersey, she thought she was switching lives with another Housewives star.
“I don’t know if this is just me not listening very well or not asking enough questions,” the Real Housewives of Orange County star admitted. “But my interpretation was that it was switching with another Housewife. I think I thought that up until probably two days before I started filming the actual Wife Swap.”

Even though she didn’t initially understand the concept, Emily fit right into the Svensson family. She was even cool with their unusual housepet: a giant pig.
Making matters worse, the New Jersey dad wasn’t used to pitching in around the house. Unlike Emily, whose husband Shane Simpson is a fully hands-on dad, Caley Svensson runs her home without any help from her spouse.
However, she did find the family’s favorite footwear unacceptable. “Having animals around me at all times doesn’t bother me,” she told Decider. “Crocs? Yes, that bothers me. That is offensive,” she laughed.
Additionally, the RHOC star isn’t used to having zero help around the house. Decider asked if she ever got annoyed with Erik Svensson’s failure to pitch in with his three kids.
“It’s a lot of work to take care of those kids and to get them to school … to get them to all the activities and do all the things.” she said. “I can imagine how frustrated [Caley] is because I have such great help with Shane. For me, that’s just normal … I was frustrated for her.”
Finally, the interviewer commented on the way Emily’s daughter Annabelle warmed up to Caley. Was that a surprise and how is Emily’s relationship with her daughter now?
“My relationship with Annabelle … it’s great,” Emily responded. “We butt heads a lot … She tells me I’m lame and I’m cringe and I’m a boomer … Even though I keep getting abused, I still keep coming back every day.”
Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
