Daniel Dubois Didn’t Hesitate When Asked If Anthony Joshua Should Fight Again Or Retire For Good

Daniel Dubois has shared his thoughts on whether former rival Anthony Joshua should call time on his professional career.

Dubois made the first defence of his IBF World Title last year against Joshua, knocking his countryman out in the fifth round of their showdown at Wembley Stadium in London, handing the two-time unified champion the fourth defeat of his career.

After suffering another devastating defeat, many boxing fans and pundits have questioned whether ‘AJ’ should finally draw the curtain on his career, which began back in 2013 just months after he captured an Olympic gold medal at the London games in 2012.

Despite this, the 35-year-old from Watford looks as though he is going to fight on, the plan being to make a return to the ring before the end of the year.

One option for Joshua could be a rematch against Dubois, who is currently in preparations for a second encounter with former undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk who he locks horns with at Wembley Stadium on July 19.

Speaking to Seconds Out months after the fight, however, Dubois said he believes the 35-year-old should make the decision to retire.

“Does he want some more? He should retire in my opinion”

At the top of Joshua’s hit list is Tyson Fury, however ‘The Gypsy King’ has been in retirement since January and is adamant he will not be fighting again. Should Dubois beat Usyk he will be ordered to face a mandatory challenger, the first of which is Joseph Parker. Whether or not he would drop a belt to make a lucrative ‘AJ’ rematch remains to be seen.
