Carl Froch has reiterated his opinion that two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua should call it quits.
In the immediate aftermath of Joshua's brutal post-match loss to Daniel Dubois, Froch was one of those who claimed this Time for the man from Watford to hang up his gloves.
The 35-year-old has previously been dropped several times iced by Dubois in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium and failed in his attempt to win the IBF title.
Despite avoiding a rematch with “DDD,” the former Olympic gold medalist will continue his professional boxing career and is expected to fight his long-time rival Tyson Fury in 2025.
And in conversation with combat lensFroch revealed that he is worried about Joshua's health if he wants to continue boxing.
“I'm just being honest. I'm just telling the truth and I think Anthony Joshua has had a fantastic career based on his performance level.
“He got picked off a few times and the final shout he got from Daniel Dubois looked hurtful. Possibly harmful to health.
“You can have as much money in the bank as you want, 100 million, 150 million, whatever. [But] There is no price for your health.
“The way he fell unconscious, it looked like he had been verbally abused by Dubois. Injured in round one, ironed out in round five. Why is he fighting?”
‼️ Anthony Joshua could go straight into a fight with the winner of Zhilei Zhang vs. Agit Kabayel, with the WBC open to that.
AJ is currently ranked #6 by the WBC 📈
