Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is reportedly considering stepping away from professional boxing, following a period of deep personal reflection triggered by recent tragedy. The speculation intensified after comments from a close family member suggested the British star has informed relatives of his intention to retire. While Joshua himself has yet to make an official announcement, the reasons behind the reported decision are understood to go far beyond the ring.

The car accident where Josh has survived.

Central to the situation is a devastating car accident late last year in which Joshua survived but lost two close friends and long-time members of his inner circle. Though he escaped with minor physical injuries, the emotional impact has been profound, forcing the 36-year-old to reassess his priorities, personal safety, and future. Family sources have also pointed to the emotional strain boxing has placed on loved ones, with years of watching Joshua risk his health at the highest level of a brutal sport taking its toll.

Anthony Joshua has yet to confirm his future as reports suggest he may step away from the sport.

Joshua’s career already stands among the most decorated of his era: Olympic gold, multiple world titles, and global commercial success. With his legacy secure, stepping away now would mark a human decision rather than a competitive one. For now, the boxing world awaits Joshua’s own words.
