Boxing news: Anthony Joshua retirement bomb, Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 negotiations

Anthony Joshua retirement talked up

Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has admitted the Olympic gold medallist could retire from boxing if he wins his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr in December.

“Yeah sure, the only focus for AJ is to win the fight against Ruiz,” the Matchroom Boxing chief told Boxing Social.

“I think if Ruiz was to win, then [Al] Haymon will probably try and make the fight with Wilder ASAP. If AJ was to win, who knows what he’s going to do, he might retire, who knows. All the focus is just on beating Andy Ruiz and AJ becoming the unified world heavyweight champ again, for the third time.”
