Tributes across the boxing world have been pouring in since this news broke on December 31. A funeral for Latz and Sina was held at the London Central Mosque on January 4, which Joshua was present for. <\/p>\n
While he hasn’t spoken to the media since the crash, Joshua did post two photos to his social media channels<\/a>, presumably with members of the victims’ families, captioned, “My Brothers Keeper \u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\ude96\u2764\ufe0f.” One person in the photo is holding a photo of Sina.<\/p>\n My Brothers Keeper \u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\ude96\u2764\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/V604vAJtcw<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Anthony Joshua (@anthonyjoshua) January 4, 2026<\/a>Anthony Joshua intends to retire from boxing, according to family member<\/p>\n While Joshua’s boxing future was the last thing on many people’s minds in the wake of this tragedy, there were still rumblings about whether the heavyweight superstar might decide to hang up the gloves and call it a career. And this is indeed what Joshua has reportedly decided, which his uncle, Adedamola Joshua, told The Punch on January 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe major thing there is that he has retired from boxing. That is one thing that makes us glad because each time he\u2019s fighting in the ring, we are always carried away emotionally,\u201d Adedamola told\u00a0The PUNCH. <\/p>\n He then added, \u201cEach time he\u2019s knocked down, it is just like the heart is coming out of our chest. All these emotional feelings whenever he\u2019s fighting, it\u2019s too much trauma for us, also. Now that he has said that he\u2019s leaving while the ovation is highest, we are happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Anthony Joshua during a press conference at the Guildhall, London on September 18, 2024. | IMAGO \/ PA Images<\/p>\n Nobody can blame Joshua, who knocked Jake Paul out on December 19, for coming to this decision. The first thought about this news is that the highly anticipated fight between Joshua and fellow British heavyweight Tyson Fury will no longer take place in 2026, which was already in the works. <\/p>\n While there’s always a chance that Joshua might change his mind (or that his uncle is wrong), he has made more than enough money in the sport, has cemented his legacy as an all-time great heavyweight, and has nothing left to prove. <\/p>\n The Latest Boxing News<\/p>\n Tyson Fury Explains Motives Behind Boxing Retirement U-Turn<\/a><\/p>\n Deontay Wilder Makes Major Boxing Admission After Recent Struggles<\/a><\/p>\n Moses Itauma Admits Jermaine Franklin Could Expose “Question Marks” About Him<\/a><\/p>\n Jake Paul’s Indefinite Suspension After Anthony Joshua Fight Raises Questions<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Anthony](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01ke4wf5p0sc63b9vb8j.jpg\" "\\"Anthony")
