Joshua vs. Dubois Rematch Likely, Turki Wants It

The head of Matchroom Boxing and promoter of former world champion Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn, has revealed that Turki Alalshikh is personally interested in a rematch between Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

"His Excellency wants the rematch. AJ will always want a rematch because he’s a fighter, and Daniel Dubois is ready for it as well. For him, this is the biggest fight.

I told AJ: ‘You don’t show any signs of the fight on your face, but you took a hit to the chin. We’re not coming back in 10-12 weeks. You need rest. You need to recover,’" Hearn said.

Dubois knocked out Joshua in the 5th round. A subsequent meeting took place between Turki, Hearn, and Joshua.
