He won the fight \u2013 that was never in doubt \u2013 but six rounds in the company of Jake Paul, an influencer-cruiserweight still learning how to box, was hardly proof that Joshua was back to his best, nor that the demons of Wembley had been exorcized. Shortly after that win, our collective concern for Joshua then intensified when news broke that he had been involved in a car crash in Nigeria which had tragically killed two of his friends. Now, for reasons too obvious to explain, we really did wonder whether the end was nigh. After all, even if one day physically capable, would Joshua ever be mentally ready to return to the boxing ring? That question, for now, remains unanswered, regardless of how many fights he watches from ringside, how many training videos he posts on social media, and how many times Tyson Fury calls him a \u201cshithouse\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since that night, we have seen Joshua in the ring only once, and even that did little to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582989,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1920,6653,7702,294749,85,295368],"class_list":{"0":"post-607054","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-boxing-news","12":"tag-boxingscene","13":"tag-heavyweight-boxing","14":"tag-heavyweight-rankings","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-who-is-britains-best-heavyweight"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
