The boxing world is still reeling from Daniel Dubois’s stunning knockout victory over Anthony Joshua last Saturday at Wembley Stadium. Many are wondering what’s next for Joshua, and some boxing pros are even suggesting that retirement might be the best move for him.
Joshua’s team, however, seems to think otherwise. His trainer, Ben Davison, acknowledged that Joshua made some mistakes in the fight, but emphasized that they’ll review what went wrong and move forward ¹. Joshua himself has also ruled out retirement, saying “I’m a warrior… We rolled the dice. We took a shot at success and we came up short. What does that mean now? That we’re going to run away? We’re going to live to fight another day”.
Promoter Eddie Hearn also chimed in, saying that Joshua will definitely be back, and his next fight could be against either Dubois again or Tyson Fury ¹. It’s clear that Joshua’s team is committed to keeping his career alive, despite this setback.
As for Dubois, his victory has catapulted him to the top of the heavyweight division, and many are eager to see what he does next. The boxing world will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on both Joshua and Dubois in the coming months.
