In a surprising development that has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, renowned heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is reportedly considering retirement after a recent CT scan revealed potential brain damage. The scan, conducted shortly after his match with fellow British boxer Daniel Dubois, has raised serious concerns about Joshua’s long-term health and well-being.
