MAYBE Anthony Joshua is still suffering from the effects of being flattened.
Perhaps he isn't thinking straight, having been punched in the face so often.
Or it might be just the simple case that Joshua doesn't want the last thing he hears in a boxing ring to be the sound of alarm bells.
Not to mention the national anthem of Saudi Arabia.
But whatever the insane reasons are for Joshua wanting to continue fighting, they will be the wrong ones.
Knowing when to quit top-level sport is one of the most difficult things athletes like him struggle to work out.
It's a big decision, especially when that sport has been your whole life, and there has been little else to focus on.
But the harsh truth, one he will not want to admit or even contemplate, is that Joshua is now a has-been.
