British boxing board suspends Anthony Joshua

“AJ has been banned for just under a month by the British Boxing Board of Control. According to the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports, it is not unusual for a fighter to receive a medical suspension after suffering a TKO or KO loss,” Mirror UK said in a post on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Joshua experienced a brutal night in the ring, falling to the canvas three times before Dubois, known as ‘DDD’, delivered the final blow with a powerful right hand in the fifth round.

This loss marks Joshua’s fourth career defeat, following his shocking 2019 loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. and back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.

While the suspension is unlikely to impact Joshua’s immediate plans, as no future fights have been scheduled, it has sparked debate about his boxing future. Former boxer Carl Froch expressed his concerns about Joshua’s performance and future in the sport.

“Anthony Joshua got absolutely battered from pillar to post. He lacked ambition, he lacked self-belief and confidence. His powers of recovery are terrible, he looked exhausted,” Froch stated on his YouTube channel.
