Anthony Joshua has broken his silence on retirement rumours following his defeat to Daniel Dubois.

Joshua insists he will bounce back from Saturday’s (21 September) defeat to Dubois and become a three-time heavyweight champion.

In a recorded message shared on his social channels on Monday (23 September), Joshua said: “Yesterday night we came up short but we have got to look at the positives and that is the mindset and the perspective we have to have, a positive one, always.

“Look at what we have achieved in the space of 11 years, it is phenomenal. And I want to thank every single one of you that has been riding with me. What a rollercoaster journey. And it is far from over.”
