Joshua says boxing career ‘far from over’ after defeat

London: Anthony Joshua insists his career is “far from over” following his devastating knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley, which raised doubts about his future in boxing.

Joshua said he was determined to take the positives from the situation despite his mauling -- the fourth defeat of a 32-fight career. “What a rollercoaster journey, but do you know what the problem is? It is far from over yet,” he said.

“We’ve done it once, we’ve done it twice, doing it a third time hasn’t been easy but I believe it is something I can achieve. It’s about making the right steps forward, working hard, improving and it has to come from here (heart) more than anything.

“It’s only been a day but I know when I sit back I know I’ve got a lot of this (heart), thanks for your support, thanks for being on this rollercoaster journey with me. “Keep your seatbelts tight because deep down in here I know we have a lot more to bring to this game.”
