Anthony Joshua handed boxing suspension

Anthony Joshua handed boxing suspension

Anthony Joshua has been issued a ban from boxing following his brutal defeat by Daniel Dubois last week.

The Watford-born fighter was knocked out in the fifth round at Wembley in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley by the 27-year-old domestic rival.

Dubois retained his IBF heavyweight title with an impressive victory, knocking down his challenger four times.

As per protocol, Joshua is now prohibited from stepping into the ring for 28 days, with the British Boxing Board of Control enforcing the rule.

The Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports highlights that it’s standard procedure for fighters to be issued medical suspensions after suffering KO and TKO defeats.

The short ban is unlikely to hinder Joshua given that his next opponent is yet to be named after he insisted he will continue to box.
