British boxing star Anthony Joshua has vowed to continue his boxing journey despite suffering a devastating knockout defeat against Daniel Dubois at London's Wembley Stadium on 21 September 2024. The loss, in front of a record-breaking crowd of over 98,000 fans, marked the fourth defeat of Joshua's 32-fight professional career.
The highly anticipated bout saw Joshua, a former two-time world champion, attempt to reclaim the IBF world heavyweight title. However, the 34-year-old Olympic gold medalist faced a formidable challenge in the form of rising star Daniel Dubois.
Despite Joshua's best efforts, Dubois proved to be the superior fighter on the night. The younger Briton floored Joshua four times throughout the contest before securing a decisive knockout victory in the fifth round.
In the aftermath of the defeat, many boxing pundits and fans questioned whether it was time for Joshua to hang up his gloves. However, the Watford-born fighter remains defiant and committed to his boxing career.
In a video message posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Joshua addressed his supporters, stating, "What a rollercoaster journey, but do you know what the problem is? It is far from over yet."
Joshua, who has previously bounced back from defeats to reclaim world titles, believes he can achieve the feat once more. "We've done it once, we've done it twice, doing it a third time hasn't been easy, but I believe it is something I can achieve," he said.
The former champion emphasized the importance of making the right steps forward, working hard, and improving his craft. He also thanked his fans for their unwavering support throughout his career.
Despite the setback, Joshua's future in boxing remains bright. A potential rematch with Dubois could be on the cards, as well as a long-awaited all-British showdown with Tyson Fury.
As Joshua himself put it, "Keep your seatbelts tight because deep down in here I know we have a lot more to bring to this game."
In the face of adversity, Anthony Joshua has chosen to focus on the positives and use the defeat as motivation to come back stronger. His determination and resilience serve as an inspiration to aspiring boxers and fans around the world.
As the dust settles on Joshua's latest setback, the boxing world eagerly awaits his next move. One thing is certain: Anthony Joshua's journey in the sport is far from over, and he remains committed to cementing his legacy as one of Britain's greatest boxers.
