    Joshua has given an interview saying he is coming to the end of his career, not the start of my career, he needs to think about his future, he`s not one to live in the present moment, at 32 is this the right mentality?

    You’ll struggle to stay motivated if you have the money that AJ has. Mayweather for example could do it, he had the skills and the persona for it. AJ is pretty limited all round and has done very well for himself, he’d get hurt if he carried on too much longer so good luck to him.

    He needs to fight all the best fighters out there before retiring

    He'd have had an extra 50 million had he fought Wilder. Hell that fight would still make a lot of money if they both don't retire.

    It's almost as if he was a hypejob sold to a DESPERATE market for billions of pounds and was never the genuine article.

    Wow.

    What if he gets knocked out by all of them? He could end up with pugilistic dementia, he`s 32 and has already been knocked out.

    Considering he got $90m from the Saudi's for the Ruiz rematch, he's probably doing okay...

    Hes about the age where a lot of UK fighters retire. UK fighters almost always retire much earlier than US fighters. Maybe the UK has better financial education in their schools.

    This is the talk of a finished fighter. It's getting awfully late for a spring date to announce the Usyk rematch.

    He knows the Usyk rematch is the end. He knows he will not survive against a superior multi dimensional being like Usyk. He knows he has absolutely no chance.

    He's finished

    Yes he is coming to end of his career, he is healthy, wealthy and financially wise, with name entered in annals of boxing history as a World Heavyweight Champion, that sounds like a perfect time to me for him to exit stage left and enjoy his wealth.

    Honestly, say what you want about them, but it would really suck if both AJ and Wilder retired in the immediate future. Fury and Usyk probably don't have much time left either, and if AJ and Wilder leave, it would probably speed up the retirement plans of Fury and Usyk since there will be no big names left. Also, at the moment the up-and-comers of the division are still up-and-coming. There's really nobody that could immediately fill the void.
