Simon Jordan expects Anthony Joshua to fight on to clear up his boxing legacy.

Joshua was stunned by British heavyweight rival Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, being dropped four times before being stopped in the fifth round.

It was a devastating blow to the career of AJ, who is now even facing calls to retire given he faces an uphill battle to become a three-time heavyweight world champion.

On the latest episode of talkBOXING, talkSPORT host Jordan discussed Joshua’s future with Ade Oladipo and Spencer Oliver.

He questioned whether Joshua would retire, insisting that the pain of defeat could be too much for him to hang up his gloves now.

“AJ went into a ring in front of 96,000 people with a British heavyweight and got battered,” he said in a brutal assessment.

“And that is the legacy that Anthony Joshua will have to look behind in his rear-view mirror and wonder if that is the lasting image.

“Because that will be the lasting image. He can look at his bank balance and okay whatever.

“He’s gone in there and disappointed himself beyond belief and those around him I suspect.

“That’s why I don’t think he retires because I don’t know if he’d be able to live with himself.”

But talkSPORT pundit Spencer Oliver still believes Joshua’s legacy is overwhelmingly positive irrespective of the result.

“I think what gets to AJ is what he has done for the sport of boxing has transformed it for sure,” he argued.

Jordan isn’t sure what’s next for Joshua

“He has transformed British boxing, he has helped get kids into the gym and become a superstar.

“This is all outside of boxing he has done that, and he doesn’t get the respect he deserves.

“Everyone is jumping on his back and his giving him s*** after this defeat.”

The huge record-breaking crowd were vastly in support of Joshua, who has helped bring the sport to new popularity in the UK in the current era.

But he now faces another rebuild after suffering the fourth defeat of his career, jeopardising a shot at the winner of Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch with Tyson Fury.

The option of a potential rematch with Dubois looms, with promoter Eddie Hearn suggesting he has a rematch clause in his contract.

Joshua himself has insisted with gritted defiance that he will refuse to turn his back on the sweet science.

Interest still could remain in a clash with bitter rival Fury, who fans have been desperate to see him fight for ears.

And the Gypsy King’s promoter Frank Warren has refused to close the door on the fight, which could emerge if Fury loses his sequel.
