Anthony Joshua gave an intriguing response when asked about his future in the ring while attending the fight for the semi -marked weight title between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.
Joshua, 35, made the comments in an interview while sitting at the ring for the last crescendo in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.
Bivol's victory over Beterbiev was courtesy of a decision of majority points, and the judges noted the combat 114-114, 116-112 and 115-113 in favor of Bivol.
His victory also means that he claims the titles of the AMB, WBC, WBO and IBF as the undisputed champion in his division, avenging his defeat against the same opponent in October.
Before the fight, Joshua was asked about his own return to action, since he did not appear since his defeat against Daniel Dubois in the worldwide heavyweight title fight in Wembley last fall.
When asked about his future, Joshua said: 'More fights, this is my life, this is what I do. Right now I feel outside and look and then I will come back one day.

“I feel like a fan and see great people in the sport I love.”
According to the reports, his comments are presented after Joshua was not considered a late replacement option for Dubois, who withdrew from his signing of posters scheduled with Joseph Parker due to a disease.
While the future of Joshua's boxing is still clear, speculation has increased on his possible withdrawal from sport.
This week, the promoter Eddie Hearn said that he believes that the heavyweight will play “two fights, three fights to the maximum.”
Speaking with Talksport, Hearn said: 'The plan and objective of Anthony Joshua, always, from now on to the moment he retires, is trying to win the World Heavyweight Championship. To try to become a three -time heavyweight champion.
He added: 'Then, of course, the other fight, which we know is not available at this time, is Tyson Fury, wanted that fight.
“But, if you told AJ,” What do you want to do the most? “He would say:” I want to fight against the winner of Dubois/Parker. I want another opportunity for a world heavyweight title. ”
As a result that Parker vs Dubois's fight does not take place due to the absence of the latter, Parker will have to WAT for his opportunity to become a world champion again.
