Anthony Taylor Opens Up About Retirement Plans Ahead of Dublin Card
Anthony Taylor, the celebrated figure in celebrity boxing, has revealed his intention to retire soon, stirring emotions among fans. The 34-year-old, known as ‘Pretty Boy,’ shared his heartfelt message on Instagram ahead of his upcoming bout against KSI in Dublin, Ireland.
Taylor’s Journey in the Ring
Taylor’s rise in the combat sports arena began with MMA fights in Bellator. Despite being on the brink of a UFC contract, he pivoted to become Jake Paul’s sparring partner, launching him into the realm of celebrity boxing. His prowess led him to claim the Misfits Boxing light-heavyweight championship, marking a significant milestone in his career.
Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua, Bellew said, “If he (Dubois) fights AJ next, then I am sorry to say it but it ends quickly and brutally”. Dubois is not a bad boxer, then why was Bellew so dismissive about him?
Well, as per Bellew’s analysis, Dubois took heavy damage during the early rounds in the fight against Hrgovic, which Bellew believes won’t fly in a fight against someone as skilled as Joshua. He added, “You’ll get away with one or two against AJ and then you know what happens? You’ll go to sleep”.
A Farewell Announcement
In a poignant Instagram post, Taylor expressed gratitude to those who supported him throughout his journey, including KSI, his upcoming opponent. While announcing his retirement plans, Taylor hinted at the bittersweet nature of facing off against KSI, emphasizing the mutual respect between them. However, he refrained from specifying a retirement date, leaving fans to ponder the timing of his departure from the ring.
“Daniel Dubois proved all his doubters wrong and won the IBF ‘interim’ belt. He hopefully will be fighting AJ in the autumn, we’re working on that. He did well…,” Warren said.
Unconventional Showdown Ahead
As anticipation builds for Taylor’s clash with KSI, the British YouTube sensation has thrown a curveball by proposing a unique 2 vs. 1 bout against Taylor and Slim Albaher. KSI’s unorthodox challenge adds an intriguing twist to the upcoming event, showcasing his willingness to push boundaries in pursuit of new challenges.
