While dismissing any suggestions of Joshua retiring, Earn said he would like see him be more
active.
He wants Joshua to return in December and have at least three fights in 2023 after just two
fights in two and half years – both against Usyk.
“If he’s out in public, he gives everyone his time. He’s one of the nicest guys. He’s a competitor
and winner.
“What you saw was raw emotion. A real person who wanted to win badly.”
“I’m a fighter for life. That hunger never dies. Fighter for life,” added at the Press Conference.
