JAKARTA - Anthony Joshua began throwing signs for retirement from the professional boxing world.
The statement comes amid rumors linking it to the fight against the undisputed heavyweight world champion between Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk.
However, Joshua realized time was going on and he was already at the top. He admits that his career will depend on how his body is doing, before hinting at his possible retirement date.
"I always say 35 years old. I will be 35 years old in October 2024. I think two more years or more, if my body can survive," the two-time heavyweight champion told The Jonathan Ross Show.
Although his body is aging, AJ's brain helped him gain a net worth of 41 million before fighting Francis Ngannou in early March 2024.

"I have established certain businesses that I can live in naturally," said the gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics.
Joshua revealed that he had been into the business of installing bricks and selling holiday packages before finally plunging into professional boxing.
Now, apart from still focusing on practicing boxing to face the possibility of fighting Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua is developing his business.
He also uses other free time to enjoy his life outside of boxing.
"I have time to date and hang out a little bit now. I'm training right now, I have two months before I enter training camp."
"I think what they say is be patient because you will see Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk for all the championship belts. After that's done, hopefully I can open the door and get my chance," he said.
Tyson Fury is scheduled to face Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, 2024. Usyk took the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts from Anthony Joshua before keeping him in a rematch.
The belt is at stake for the undisputed heavyweight title race against Fury currently holding the WBC title.
