Anthony Joshua finally suspended from boxing
Anthony Joshua has finally been suspended from boxing for the first time, and this may bring his career to an end.
Joshua, who lost his latest fight to Daniel Dubois, is in big trouble following his suspension from boxing.
The fight he lost to Daniel Dubois was one that no one anticipated. This loss made the former two-time unified world heavyweight champion look fragile and beatable.
On the night, the Dubois dished out heavy punches that denied Anthony Joshua the bragging right and sent him asleep in the ring. He was boxed down drunk in a never-predicted knockout in the 5th round.
The current IBF world heavyweight champion Dubois displayed stunning prowess and dominated Joshua in a way that no one had ever done against Anthony Joshua in his professional boxing career.
In fact, Dubois deserved to win on the night, for he showed his quest to win with every blue that he landed; in fact, he proved beyond reasonable doubt on the night that he has been underestimated as far as abilities to win big fights and cause surprises were concerned.
However, his win against Anthony Joshua has created even more problems for the British boxer, whose career hangs in the balance after a humiliating defeat.
Why has Anthony Joshua been suspended from boxing, and who suspended him?
The question on the minds of many boxing-loving fans across the globe is whether the one-time Olympic gold medalist should hang his gloves and say goodbye to boxing after he kissed that canvas in the fight that made him look miserable and defeated.
The latest news for Anthony Joshua is exactly what he never expected to hear. Joshua has been suspended from boxing for the next 28 days. Oh yes, that is the reality.
The suspension comes from the British boxing board and is a ritual of the board handing to every British boxer who loses a fight very often when knocked out.
It’s a standard procedure, and even before leaving the ring on the night he was walloped, Joshua and his team knew that this was coming their way.
Anthony Joshua has been suspended from boxing, but in his own interest. This rule is specially made to safeguard and protect boxes that suffer defeat through knockouts in as British boxers.
However, there’s good news for Joshua because, all things held constant, he should be able to serve his suspension by the end of October 19th. However, it is not possible that Joshua plans to fight before that period. In any case, if anything at all, it is anticipated that the British heavyweight may look at another fight for Joshua in 2025, which will be enough for him to regain his strength and confidence to stage another comeback fight if he so wishes to be in the ring once again.
