Anthony Joshua Announces Retirement From Boxing If He Loses His Next Fight by bestofnollywood: 4:20pm On Mar 28, 2023
Anthony Joshua has confirmed that he will retire from boxing if he loses to Jermaine Franklin on Saturday.

Joshua was scheduled to fight Tyson Fury in November or December, however, the fight never happened due to sponsorship issues. The 33-year-old is now billed to face Franklin on Saturday at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London.

The former champion will hope to upturn his bad form, after losing to Oleksandr Usyk in August of 2022 and get back in contention for the title.

“I will retire if I don't win," Joshua said when asked about a possible end to his career.

“I’m not here to battle people. If people want me to retire I will retire. I’m not willing to fight if people don’t want me to.”

“It’s not even about money. It’s about the competitor in you. That's important."

Speaking about his post-retirement plans, Joshua indicated he would enjoy himself despite the pressure he has had to bear in his career.

‘I know when I am retired, I am gonna be chilling,” he said.

He will not retire, it's a gimmick to attract viewers to his next fight. After all many retired boxers are being touted for a quick return to the ring.
Oga you will not retire.

But then again, you will win your next fight, cos there's some level of prearranged things in boxing, if you get warrah mean. cool
