Matchroom Sports CEO Eddie Hearn has reiterated that Anthony Joshua may be nearing his retirement from boxing soon.
Recall that the British-Nigeria-born boxer was knocked down in the fight round by Daniel Dubois in the IBF world heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium.
In a candid conversation with Joshua after the brutal defeat, Hearn revealed he told the boxer he may have only one to three fights left in his career.

Speaking to Charlie Parson of The Stomping Ground, Hearn said, “I said to AJ on the phone you’ve probably got between one and three fights left. Then it went a bit quiet.
“He kind of realized, blimey, we’re on the home straight. We really are.”
Despite the loss, Hearn confirmed that a rematch clause exists, and Joshua is likely to activate it soon.
