Anthony Joshua, former two-time heavyweight champion and British-Nigerian boxer has vowed to continue boxing despite his shocking defeat to Daniel Dubois in London on Saturday.
Joshua’s bid to become a three-time champion and return to the division’s top table ended dramatically and unexpectedly, with Dubois dropping him several times at Wembley Stadium before he landed the final blow, a crunching right hand, in Round 5 that saw his English rival fall to the canvas for a fourth career loss, while Dubois retained his IBF belt.
Joshua made an appearance at the post-fight news conference and insisted he would continue to box as he eyes another fight.
“Probably you’re asking, ‘Do I still want to continue fighting?’ Of course, I want to continue fighting,” Joshua said per ESPN.
“That’s what I said: we took a shot at success, and we came up short. What does that mean now? We going to run away? Or are we going to live to fight another day?”
