The former world champion believes that AJ looks weak so there is no point in thinking about a second fight with his compatriot.
If Anthony Joshua really wants to return to the top of the world in the heavyweight division, he should not rematch Daniel Dubois. Former world champion Amir Khan thinks so.
According to the specialist, the Briton should start approaching big fights again with more ease, because in the first fight with his compatriot he looked too weak.
“A rematch is probably the worst mistake he’s made. I don’t think he would have gone for a rematch if it was a close fight, where both won a few rounds that would count first for a boxer, then for on the other. – yes, everything is ok when the conflict, as we have seen, is one-sided, then in this case, revenge is the last thing to think about.
I think Joshua still has some left in him, he still has a chance for a good fight. Perhaps next time he should agree to an easier battle. I think a lot of people would enjoy boxing with him.
It may turn out that he will return to the ring, or it may happen that tomorrow he will announce his retirement. How old is he? 34? He has spent his best years in the sport, he fought with the best boxers, he packed stadiums. I saw information that during his career he attracted almost 500 thousand viewers, and this is only in the UK. It looks like he hasn’t cooled down yet, but if that’s true, only he can tell.
If the inner fire fight is lost, then no one will perform well, and there will only be suffering, especially if in your career you have earned good money, made a name for yourself, won titles in the world…
If Joshua still wants to finish his career at any cost, it’s not for me to dissuade him. But if he wants to box again, he will support us,” Khan told The Stomping Ground.
We remind you that Daniel Dubois easily defeated Anthony Joshua, knocking out his opponent in the fifth round, having previously knocked him down three times.
Earlier, Dubois announced his readiness for a rematch with Joshua.
