(Reuters) - Boxers who fail doping tests should be banned for life, according to Britain's IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Joshua became the first boxer to hold the Olympic super-heavyweight crown and a version of the world heavyweight title simultaneously with his triumph at the O2 Arena in April, a few miles from where he won gold at the London 2012 Games.
