After two to Oleksandr Usyk, makes his comeback against Jermaine Franklin on Saturday.
The losses to the Ukrainian have left Joshua without his IBF, WBO and WBA belts, and when he steps into the ring at The O2 Arena the British boxer will be eyeing his first win since a knockout victory over Kubrat Pulev in December 2020.
Joshua will start the bout with Franklin as the favourite but will be weary of the American’s impressive performance against Dillian Whyte last year.
And so given all the interest in Joshua’s return to the ring, when will his ring walk take place?
Here is everything you need to know.
What time is Anthony Joshua’s ring walk?
The ring walks for the main event are expected to take place at around 10.15pm.

However, with a packed undercard, the ring walks could be pushed back to slightly later in the evening.
The undercard is set to get underway from 6pm, with the main card starting at 7pm.
The fight will be shown live on DAZN, with fans able to watch by signing up for a monthly pass priced at £9.99.
Who is on the undercard?
Felix Cash’s fight against Matteo Signani has been called off with the British boxer suffering from illness.
Craig Richards’ bout with Ricards Bolotniks has also been taken off the undercard after Richards suffered a hand injury.
As such, Galal Yafai vs Moises Calleros has been added to the programme in its place

What has Anthony Joshua said?
Asked if now is the best time for an opponent to face him given his last two results, Joshua said at a press conference on Wednesday: ‘This is the worst time. The more he talks, the bigger grave he digs for himself. But it is what it is. I could say a lot of things about him [Franklin] but I respect my opponent.
‘It’s not for me to talk, it’s for you [Franklin] to do all the talking. For me, it’s do to my job on Saturday.
‘And honestly, that is all I am focused on, from round one to round 12. I’m prepared for a 12-rounder, but I do believe in my ability and my counter punching to definitely put a dent in Jermaine.’
