Anthony Joshua, the former two-time world heavyweight champion, has been handed a 28-day suspension from boxing by the British Boxing Board of Control after his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.
This suspension is a standard medical precaution following a KO or TKO loss, aimed at ensuring Joshua’s safety.
Joshua’s loss to Dubois marked his fourth professional career defeat, and speculation has risen about his future in boxing. However, Joshua has made it clear he won’t retire, saying “We’ve got to look at the positives… It’s far from over yet”.
The suspension will end on October 19, and it’s unlikely to impact Joshua’s immediate plans since he doesn’t have any confirmed upcoming fights.
Mike Tyson has also offered words of encouragement, advising Joshua not to get discouraged and to keep fighting.
