British boxing star Anthony Joshua has hinted that he may hang up his gloves in 2025, marking the end of what has been a remarkable 12-year career in the sport.

The 35-year-old former heavyweight champion made the revelation during an interview on the Ariel Helwani Show, where he reflected on his journey and paid tribute to his longtime promoters, MatchRoom Boxing.

“12 years ago, I signed with you and 12 years later, I will throw my last punch with you,” Joshua said emotionally, addressing MatchRoom. “Long may you reign supreme and keep giving fighters opportunities to become champions and make boxing great.”

Joshua hasn’t fought since September 2024, when he suffered a knockout loss in the fifth round to Daniel Dubois. Despite the setback, he is expected to return to the ring before the end of 2025 — potentially for the last time.

Fans have watched Joshua rise from Olympic gold medalist to unified world champion, delivering some of boxing’s most memorable nights over the past decade. Known for his explosive power, professionalism, and charisma, AJ has remained one of the sport’s biggest global draws.

While he hasn't officially confirmed his retirement, this latest comment suggests the countdown to his farewell fight has begun. If 2025 truly marks his final year in the ring, it will be the end of an era for one of Britain’s most iconic boxing champions.

Boxing fans around the world will now be watching closely — not just for AJ’s next opponent, but for what could be the last chapter in a legendary career.
