Uncle Anthony Joshua (29-4, 26 KO), Adedamola Joshua, in an interview with The Punch, stated that his nephew has supposedly retired.

“The most important thing is that Anthony has retired from boxing. We are happy because each of his fights touches us deeply. Every time he falls, it feels like our hearts jump out of our chests. All the emotions he experiences during the fight are too intense for us. Now that he has told us that he is leaving, we are happy,” stated Adedamola Joshua.

It should be noted that Anthony Joshua himself has not yet commented on his future in sports following the tragic accident in Nigeria.
