A boxing ban has been imposed on Anthony Joshua in the wake of his horrific loss to Daniel Dubois last week. The 27-year-old domestic competitor knocked out the British-Nigerian boxer this month at Wembley in front of 96,000 spectators in the fifth round. Dubois defeated his opponent four times in a stunning victory to maintain his IBF heavyweight title. The British Boxing Board of Control is enforcing the protocol, which states that Joshua cannot return to the ring for 28 daysDubois defeated his opponent four times in a stunning victory to maintain his IBF heavyweight title. The British Boxing Board of Control is enforcing the protocol, which states that Joshua cannot return to the ring for 28 days. The Organisation of Boxing The committees and Combative Sports emphasises that medical suspensions are routinely given to competitors who lose by knockout or technical knockout. Joshua has stated he will continue to box, thus it is unlikely that the brief suspension will stop him from doing so. His next opponent has not yet been announced. The two-time champion stated, "And you're probably asking, "Do I want to continue fighting?" after losing to Dubois. Naturally, I want to keep battling. That's the reason I mentioned that we tried our best to succeed yet failed. And what does that currently mean?Are we going to run away? Will we survive to battle one more day? And I am that, too. A fighter. Furthermore endorsing Dubois, Joshua declared, "We have to give credit to my opponent Daniel." "When I sign up for fights, I don't really think highly of my opponents anymore, but after it's over, I give him and his team credit." When Eddie Hearn was being interviewed in the ring on Saturday night, he first claimed that Joshua had a rematch clause to fight Dubois once more. He has now clarified, though, that there is no release clause and that Joshua only has one more fight left on his contract during "Riyadh Season," which may be against Dubois. The Matchroom CEO said in an interview with iFLTV that Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and a rematch with Dubois are all on the table.
While hundreds of Israeli tanks are positioned along the border, the militant Palestinian group Hamas has declared that one of its leaders in Lebanon has been killed by Israeli airstrikes. Hamas reported that Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin, its leader in Lebanon, was killed early on Monday morning along with his wife, son, and daughter in an attack that targeted their home in a Palestinian refugee camp in the southern city of Tyre. This occurs just a few days after the long-time leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, was assassinated in Beirut. The group said that al-Amine was the victim of a "terrorist and criminal assassination," along with his wife, son, and daughter. Hours earlier, the secular left-wing Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) announced that three of its members had died in a strike that occurred early today in Beirut's Kola area. Thus far, the majority of Israel's attacks against Hezbollah have taken place in the southern suburbs of Beirut or in the southern part of Lebanon. However, the incident that occurred this morning in the Kola district was the first to occur inside Beirut's city borders; commentators worry that this is just another step forward that could lead to a bigger war that would involve Iran and the US. However, this past weekend saw an eleventh-hour call for moderation from the US and other members of the international community. Even as the US military strengthens its presence in the Middle East, President Joe Biden cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that an all-out conflict in the region must be prevented. Since Israel intensified its attacks on Hezbollah, more than 1,030 people—156 women and 87 children—have died, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry, in less than two weeks. Massive damage was caused to a multistory residential building by the airstrike that struck the Kola area. Since the Gaza conflict broke out about a year ago, Israel has attacked officials from both Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon on multiple occasions.
