Anthony Joshua Considering Retirement From Boxing After ...
Anthony Joshua reached a personal crossroads where he now considers retirement after the tragic death of two of his friends.
allhiphop.comHere’s the latest on whether Anthony Joshua has retired.
-
As of late 2024 and through 2025, Joshua repeatedly stated retirement was not imminent and he planned to continue boxing after losses to Daniel Dubois, including public confirmations that he wasn’t quitting the sport at that time. [sources discuss his post-fight comments and ongoing career plans][1][6]
-
In 2025–early 2026, there were widespread retirement rumors fueled by interviews and media speculation, but none of the major outlets reported an official, confirmed retirement by Joshua. Promoters and Joshua’s camp consistently framed any retirement as a possible future, not a current fact.[2][10]
-
A few outlets in early 2026 claimed retirement was being considered or announced by different sources, but these were not universally corroborated and some appeared to rely on unverified statements or sensational headlines. No definitive, verifiable retirement announcement has been issued by Joshua or his team as of the latest updates.[4][8]
Bottom line: There is no confirmed retirement from Anthony Joshua announced by him or his management up to now. He has publicly indicated ongoing plans, but retirement has been a topic of speculation rather than a confirmed fact. If you’d like, I can monitor reliable outlets and provide an up-to-date, sourced update as soon as a formal retirement statement emerges.[6][2]
