Joe Joyce has suggested he will fight on despite four loses in his last five fights after a defeat by unanimous decision against Filip Hrgovic in Manchester on Saturday.
The Rio 2016 silver-medalist came up short once more in a old-school battle against his fellow Olympian, who claimed the spoils at the Co-op Live between them.
Defeat is the latest in a line of reverses for Joyce that has raised questions over whether it should be time for the 39-year-old to hang up his gloves after a steady career.
Speaking in the ring afterwards however, when asked if he planned to carry on in the ring, Joyce suggested that his time was not yet up and that he has more to give.
"Yeah," he replied. "Are you not entertained? It was a good fight. It's tough, he's a great fighter. I just want to say thank you all for coming out, and all the support.
"Thanks to Hrgovic for coming out. He did really well. It's one-all. Thank you to Queensberry. It wasn't my time this time, but I'll do it again."
Queensberry boss Frank Warren however was more cautious when asked, adding: "He's got to go and have a real seirous think about the future, which is what he will do.
"Obviously, there's no rush to do that. We'll have a chat and see where we go from there. I'll be honest, I thought it was a very close fight.
"He's been a great servent for British boxing, he's never in a boring fight. He's tough as old boots and done us proud at the Olympic Games.
"Let him think about it. It's been a brilliant show. This heavyweight division is so lively and it's never over for anybody. "
