Anthony Joshua Suspended from Boxing for 28 Days Following KO Loss to Dubois
Anthony Joshua has been banned from boxing for the next 28 days after suffering a brutal knockout at the hands of Daniel Dubois last week. The heavyweight clash took place at Wembley Stadium, where Joshua was defeated in the fifth round in front of 96,000 spectators.
During the fight, Dubois managed to knock Joshua down four times, ultimately retaining his IBF heavyweight title with this victory. In accordance with protocol, the British Boxing Board of Control has enforced a mandatory medical suspension for Joshua following his knockout loss.
The Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports mandates such suspensions as standard procedure for fighters who experience knockout (KO) or technical knockout (TKO) defeats to ensure their health and safety.

Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, is reportedly planning a January transfer move for Barcelona forward Ansu Fati. After spending last season on loan at Brighton in the Premier League, Fati, now 21, returned to Barcelona but has struggled for game time under new coach Hansi Flick.
Once considered a potential successor to Lionel Messi, Fati’s limited opportunities at Barça have fueled speculation about a possible departure. According to *AS*, Mourinho is keen to bring the Spain international to the Turkish league, offering him the chance for regular football at Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce’s sporting director, Mario Branco, is expected to initiate discussions with Fati’s representatives soon, confident that the promise of consistent playing time will help secure the forward’s move.
