Carl Froch has questioned Anthony Joshua’s desire following his defeat to Daniel Dubois on Saturday night.
Joshua came into the fight as a heavyweight favourite to beat Dubois.
But he was out gunned from the very start of the bout before being brutally dispatched by Dubois at Wembley Stadium.

Former world champion, Carl Froch has given a pretty scathing assessment on ‘AJ’s’ performance and believes this could be the end for the former champion.
He said on his YouTube channel: “Anthony Joshua got absolutely battered from pillar to post.
“He walked to the ring and he looked nervous. He didn’t look confident. Daniel Dubois was smiling and enjoying himself.
“From round one Joshua was getting peppered with the jab, he was on his back foot, he was bolt upright, rigid, doing everything wrong.
“He was being pushed around the ring and bullied, Dubois came in like a world champion.
“He didn’t recover from those shots. He lacked ambition, he lacked self-belief and confidence.
“His powers of recover are terrible, he looked exhausted. I question Anthony Joshua’s desire to be in that boxing ring anymore.
“Everything was wrong. By round five he looked like he’d ran out of ideas, he looked like a beaten man.
“Let’s be fair to AJ he came out in round five and had a go, almost like a last hurrah.
“I don’t think AJ wants it anymore, he shouldn’t be boxing. That performance was weak.
“What next for AJ? I don’t even know. This could be see the last we see of Anthony Joshua. I just can’t see a future for Anthony Joshua.”
