I’m A Warrior’, I Won’t Quite – Joshua Says After fourth Professional Defeat

Nigerian-British professional boxer, Anthony Joshua, has ruled out quitting boxing after his fourth loss on Saturday to Daniel Dubios.

Joshua was knocked out in the fifth round by Daniel Dubois to retain his International Boxing Federation (IBF) heavyweight title.

Speaking at a post-match conference, the Nigerian-British boxer, when asked if he would fight in 2025, said he took a shot at success but came short.

“You are probably asking if I still want to continue fighting.. of course I want to continue fighting.

“That is what I said, we took a shot at success and we came up short. What does that mean now – are we going to run away or are we going to live to fight another day?

“That is what I am, I am a warrior, and also before I finish, we have to give credit to our opponent, Daniel.”

Joshua also added that the fifth-round punch of the 27-year-old Dubios knocked him out because of a few mistakes he made.

He, however, explained that he has learned from his mistakes.

“Even though when I sign up to fight opponents I don’t really like them in my head anymore, but now it is done, I take my hat off to him and say well done to him and his team.

“And also thank you to my team as well for the way they prepared me, there were a few mistakes in there but that is the name of the game, fine margins will cost you at the top level,” Anthony Joshua added.
