Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn says he is 'so excited' for his return to the boxing ring.
Joshua has not fought since he was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk for a second time in their rematch last August.
Following a second straight loss for the former world champion, there was talk that AJ could call time on his career.
However he is currently expected to make a comeback against Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena in London on April 1.
And Hearn says everyone who has been writing him off is in for a big surprise.
What has Eddie Hearn said about Anthony Joshua?
“We live in a mad world,” Hearn said during an appearance on The DAZN Boxing Show.
“This guy has gone on a run where he’s beaten Charles Martin, Molina, Breazeale, Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin, Takam, Ruiz, Pulev, and fought Usyk twice, with no breaks, no easy nights. He comes off the back of one good fight with Usyk and one fight where he was dominated. He’s fought a pound-for-pound number one back-to-back.
“The disrespect on this man’s name is unbelievable. And I don’t care, end of the day, but what I’m telling you, people who want to downplay his achievements, people that want to say he’s finished in the sport, get f***ing ready for the return of Anthony Joshua on April 1.
“This guy is out there, he’s in Texas, he’s working and grinding every day. This guy’s got money in the bank, he’s got world championship belts on the wall, he don’t care about either of them. He cares for the sport of boxing, he cares for regaining his world heavyweight title, and I’m telling you, he’s coming back with a vengeance.
“Anyone who wants to doubt Anthony Joshua, this guy’s a fine young man who’s about to make an assault on the world heavyweight title again. I can’t wait, I’m so excited. I’m more excited than when this journey began.”

Hearn also hit back at those criticising their choice of opponent for his comeback fight.
“The haters go, ‘Jermaine Franklin?’ And at the same time, those same haters say that Jermaine Franklin won the fight won the fight against Dillian Whyte by three or four rounds,” he added.
“So what, so he didn’t win that fight? That wasn’t a great performance by Jermaine Franklin? Apparently, Anthony Joshua has no confidence, he’s a shot fighter, he’s finished, but he’s coming off those defeats to fight a guy that you say just beat Dillian Whyte by three or four rounds.
“He don’t want an easy fight. So if it’s Franklin, and he is the front-runner, it’s going to be a great fight. And I’m telling you Anthony Joshua is coming back with vengeance in the heavyweight division.”
