Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois: Eddie Hearn reveals retirement plans of Nigerian boxer

There is news about British professional boxer of Nigerian descent.

Despite Anthony Joshua's declaration that he is about to retire from boxing, Eddie Hearn has said that Joshua may fight five more times.

34-year-old Joshua has previously stated that he will call it quits on his career at 35, but he is enjoying himself in the ring before taking on Daniel Dubois.

On September 21, Joshua will defend his third heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium against a British fighter Dubois.

Joshua last competed at Wembley in 2018, when he overcame Alexander Povetkin to raise his record to 22-0 and at the time he was still undefeated.

The arena also witnessed Joshua's victory over the legendary Wladimir Klitschko, but the raw potential that was rising has long since passed.

Joshua faces a serious danger in Dubois, who is 21-2, but Hearn believes that this bout may just be the first of many to come.

Hearn stated clearly on Talksport that everything changes with a fight, but Joshua is having a great time in the box.

Hearn's disclosure implies that Joshua, who was once losing his dominance in boxing, may have had a change of heart behind closed doors.

Joshua's confidence was damaged with an unexpected loss to Andy Ruiz Jr., and worries about his future surfaced after he suffered back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.

Since then, he has recovered and has defeated Otto Wallin, Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and ultimately former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou four times in a row.

Joshua, nevertheless, acknowledged that he would be ending his career at the age of 35 despite his efforts to recover.
