IBF heavyweight champion Filip Hrgovic says Anthony Joshua should retire, adding that he feels “sorry” for the British-Nigerian boxer and believes Joshua is finished. Both outlets report Hrgovic’s view that there comes a point where a fighter can no longer compete at the level needed for professional boxing.
In context, Hrgovic frames his comments as part of a broader assessment of the heavyweight division, suggesting that certain matchups should not continue. Yahoo Sports also highlights his criticism of other heavyweights and emphasises his warning not to “mess around with boxing,” while The Punch leads with the personal appeal to Joshua to end his career. Together, the stories present Hrgovic’s perspective as a mix of sympathy and concern about staying power in the sport.
