One of the greatest boxers in British history has pushed heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to think about retiring after a devastating knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at London’s Wembley Stadium in front of a record 98,000 spectators.
The legendary boxer Naseem Hamed, often known as “Prince Naz,” who retired at the age of 28, was present at the momentous event. Regarding Joshua’s possibilities going forward, Hamed stated that he would rather see Joshua retire from the ring. He said, “Whether he can or he can’t, I’d prefer him not to,” in an interview with iFL TV. Like all of us, he has experienced his share of sunshine. He has achieved amazing feats, taken home amazing world titles, and successfully defended them. He ought to exit politely; everything is finished. We don’t want to discuss that at this time because he was struck on the chin.
With 35 fights without a defeat under his belt before losing to the great Marco Antonio Barrera in 2001, Ahmed had a great career. He left the sport before turning thirty and retired with a 36-1 record.
On the other hand, Joshua, 34, had a difficult fight; he was knocked down four times before giving up to Dubois’s strong right hand in the fifth round. Joshua has a rematch clause and hasn’t given up on fighting, saying, “Of course I want to continue fighting,” despite the loss. We took a chance and failed. Are we going to give up and leave? We have one more day to live.
Fans and experts alike are debating Joshua’s next move in great detail as the boxing world keeps a close eye on him.
