Following his defeat to Daniel Dubois, boxing sensation Anthony Joshua has been issued a temporary boxing ban. The ex-two-time heavyweight world champion is mandated to refrain from stepping into the ring for 28 days after his shocking knockout at Wembley Stadium in London last Saturday.

In the contest against his fellow countryman, Joshua was floored three times and ultimately beaten by 'DDD' in the fifth round with a potent right hand.

The British Boxing Board of Control has enforced this brief suspension on AJ. The Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports highlights that medical suspensions are standard procedure following fighters suffering TKO or KO losses.

The defeat to Dubois represents only the fourth loss of Joshua's professional career, with past defeats including his initial upset to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 and consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.
