IBF heavyweight champion Filip Hrgovic has urged Anthony Joshua to retire, saying he feels sorry for the British-Nigerian and believes he should never fight again.
Joshua is preparing for the biggest fight of his career, a long-awaited showdown with fellow Briton Tyson Fury in Cardiff on Friday, December 11. Hrgovic, however, insists the two-time heavyweight world champion is finished.
Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, the Croatian said Joshua is only taking the fight because of the money on offer.
“He is done; he shouldn’t be fighting anymore, but he wants to do one more fight. I think that he is going to make a huge amount of money and he is doing it because of that, but I think that he shouldn’t be fighting anymore,” Hrgovic said.
