Sports247 gathered that, while many lovers of boxing are still worried that ‘AJ’ may not be emotionally and psychologically stable to step back into the ring, the boxer appears eager to continue his career.
Speculation is still on about Joshua’s next line of action, following the fatal accident he survived on December 29th in Ogun State, but lost two of his closest friends, as his promoter, Eddie Hearn is already making plans for the boxer’s next fight.
Hearn recently revealed that he is targeting a July return for the 36-year-old Joshua, won a gold medal for Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympic Games and soon became world heavyweight champion in the professional ranks.
The former two-time champ has also returned to training and repeatedly said he wants to honour his late friends by continuing his career, but some critics insist he should quit in order not to aggravate the trauma.
In reaction to the raging debate, AJ’s oldest uncle at his ancestral roots in Sagamu, Mr Ademola Joshua said the entire family respects the boxer’s choices and they will fully support him in whatever he decides to do.
Ademola added, “We are proud of him, very proud of him. He makes the full decision, and we have full respect for him, whatever he decides. Whatever he has decided within himself, we will support him fully.”
