Anthony Joshua reveals stance on boxing retirement after crashing to defeat against Daniel Dubois at Wembley
The 34-year-old has now lost three of his last seven bouts
www.gbnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
-
There is no official retirement announcement from Anthony Joshua as of now. Multiple outlets have circulated rumors and varying claims, but Joshua and his team have not confirmed retirement; a number of reports cite conjecture or unverified sources. This is consistent with the lack of a formal statement from Joshua or Matchroom Boxing up to this moment.[1][2][4]
-
Some outlets have suggested retirement timelines or "final fights" discussions tied to comments from promoters or media appearances, but these are speculative and not verified as definitive plans from Joshua. The strongest signal remains caution from his camp rather than a published retirement date.[2][6]
-
After his loss to Daniel Dubois in 2024 and subsequent injury notes, several articles framed retirement as a possibility, while others emphasized he was still considering a comeback. None provide a confirmed retirement date. If you want, I can monitor for a clear official statement and summarize when it happens.[3][9]
Would you like me to set up a quick alert and summarize any official confirmation as soon as it surfaces, or focus on the most credible outlets for ongoing updates?
