Anthony Joshua insists his career is "far from over" following his knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley, which has sparked concerns about his future in boxing.
Joshua was seeking to become a three-time world champion by claiming the IBF heavyweight title but was stopped in the fifth round in front of a record crowd of over 98,000.
The 34-year-old was floored four times by Dubois and many people called for Joshua to retire afterwards.
The British former Olympic champion released a video on X on Monday, emphasizing that his boxing journey is not over yet, with a potential rematch against Dubois and a future clash with Tyson Fury among his options.
Joshua expressed his determination to take positives from the situation, despite suffering his fourth defeat in a 32-fight career. “What a rollercoaster journey, but the problem is it’s far from over,” he said.
“We’ve done it once, we’ve done it twice, and doing it a third time hasn’t been easy, but I believe it’s something I can achieve. It’s about taking the right steps forward, working hard, and improving—it has to come from here (his heart) more than anything.
“It’s only been a day, but I know when I reflect, I’ve got a lot of this (heart). Thank you for your support and for being on this rollercoaster journey with me.
“Keep your seatbelts tight because deep down, I know we have a lot more to bring to this game.”
