Anthony Joshua, the famous British-Nigerian boxer, is taking a short break from the ring. This comes after his recent match against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, where he was beaten in front of 96,000 by Dubois in the fifth round.
Now, Joshua has been banned from boxing for 28 days. This isn't unusual - it's a standard safety rule in boxing. The British Boxing Board of Control puts this rule in place to protect fighters after they've been knocked out.
This short break won't cause his exit from the ring. He hasn't announced his next match yet, and he's made it clear he wants to keep fighting. After the match with Daniel Dubois, Anthony Joshua said, "Of course, I want to continue fighting. We took a shot at success and came up short. But are we going to run away? No, we're going to live to fight another day. That's who I am. A warrior."
Joshua also showed good sportsmanship, praising Dubois for his win. He said, "We have to give credit to my opponent Daniel. I take my hat off to him and say well done to him and his team."
What's next for Joshua? His promoter, Eddie Hearn, has mentioned a few possibilities. These include fights against big names like Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, or even a rematch with Dubois. Joshua has one more fight scheduled as part of 'Riyadh Season', but his opponent isn't decided yet.
So, while Joshua takes a short break, fans can look forward to his return. The boxing world is eager to see what this resilient fighter will do next!
