Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn urged caution, stressing that nothing can be taken for granted, as Joshua himself has not addressed retirement publicly.
“We live in a world where everyone feels they deserve to know what’s next. Anything you hear about his career—until AJ tells you himself—don’t believe it. It was a terrible accident, a tragic injury. It will take time for him to recover physically, emotionally, and spiritually,” he told Fight Hub TV.
