Anthony Joshua hasn’t had the best of weeks.
After going in as favourite for his fight against Daniel Dubois, the former two-time unified world heavyweight champion was stopped in brutal fashion.
It was a stunning display by Dubois, the current IBF world heavyweight champion, as he dominated Joshua in a manner that no previous boxer has been able to.
In a thoroughly deserved victory, Dubois showed that he should not have been underestimated as he had been.
For Anthony Joshua, it asked more questions for him at this stage of his career.
Does he want to continue boxing?
Or should this be the end of the road for the Olympic gold medalist?
The latest news emerging for Joshua is likely not what he wants to hear right now.
That’s because the British Boxing Board of Control has handed out a 28 day suspension to Anthony Joshua.
Before anyone panics, this is a pretty standard procedure to British boxers when they suffer a stoppage defeat.
This rule is primarily there for the safety of the boxers.
Boxers face further medical examinations before they may re-enter the ring and that’s what is happening with Anthony Joshua at this moment in time.
The good news is that the suspension finishes on October 19 and it’s highly unlikely that Joshua plans to fight before that period in any case.
The British heavyweight is likely to look at 2025 as the next time for when he is set to step back in the ring and get his career back on track.
It is believed that his options will largely centre around the result of Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch against Tyson Fury on December 21.
