British boxing star Anthony Joshua has sparked retirement rumours after revealing that 2025 could be his final year in the ring.
Note that Anthony Joshua has been in professional boxing since 2013. The 35-year-old former world heavyweight champion said his days in the game are numbered. He stated this during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show.
“Long may you reign supreme and keep giving fighters opportunities to become champions and make boxing great,” Joshua said in a message to MatchRoom. “Twelve years ago, I signed with you and 12 years later I will throw my last punch with you.”
Joshua has not fought since September 2024, when he suffered a shocking fifth-round knockout defeat to fellow Briton Daniel Dubois, a result that raised questions about his future in the sport.
Despite the setback, Joshua is expected to return to the ring before the end of 2025, though it now appears that fight could be the last of his career.
His statement, “I will throw my last punch with you,” has set off a flurry of speculation among fans and pundits, many interpreting it as a clear signal of retirement.
Joshua, who burst onto the professional scene after winning Olympic gold in London 2012, quickly rose through the ranks to become a unified heavyweight champion.
He held the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles at different points, and headlined sold-out arenas from Wembley to Madison Square Garden.
