Anthony Joshua Receives 28-Day Suspension Following Knockout Loss to Daniel Dubois

Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has been handed a 28-day boxing suspension after suffering a knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium last Saturday. The British Boxing Board of Control issued the suspension, a standard procedure for fighters who experience TKO or KO losses, in accordance with the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports.

“AJ has been banned for just under a month by the British Boxing Board of Control. It is not unusual for a fighter to receive a medical suspension after suffering a TKO or KO loss,” reported Mirror UK on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Joshua endured a challenging fight, hitting the canvas three times before Dubois, known as 'DDD', delivered a decisive right hand in the fifth round. This defeat marks Joshua’s fourth in his career, following his unexpected loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019 and consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.

While the suspension is not expected to disrupt Joshua’s immediate plans—no future fights have been scheduled—it has ignited discussions about his boxing future. Former boxer Carl Froch expressed serious concerns regarding Joshua's performance, stating, “He lacked ambition, he lacked self-belief and confidence. His powers of recovery are terrible; he looked exhausted.”

Froch further questioned Joshua's desire to continue in the sport, asserting, “I don’t think AJ wants it anymore; he shouldn’t be boxing. That performance was weak.”

Despite the criticism, Joshua remains determined to reclaim a world title, asserting that he has no intention of retiring soon. In a video statement shared on his X page, he expressed gratitude to his fans: “We came up short, but we have to focus on all the positives. That’s the mindset we need to adopt.”

He reflected on his career, saying, “Look at what we’ve achieved in the space of 11 years; it’s phenomenal. What a rollercoaster journey, but it’s far from over yet.”
