Joshua’s Next Fight Could Be a Major Rematch

Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn has revealed that a rematch with Daniel Dubois is one of the top options being considered for Anthony Joshua’s return to the ring.

AJ had some issues after the Dubois fight. He’s back in camp now, but he’s just not ready yet to start hitting with the kind of power he needs to.

I think there are two fights that truly light a fire in him. One is the rematch with Daniel Dubois, and the other is Tyson Fury—which is out of our control for now, but we hope something will push that fight forward.

It all depends on Tyson.

So, if he doesn’t fight either of those two, AJ will want someone from the top 10.

Joseph Parker is on a roll right now. If Dubois doesn’t fight Usyk, I’d also love to see Dubois vs. Parker—I think Joe deserves a world title shot at heavyweight.

But obviously, if a big unification fight for the undisputed title happens, Parker will need another opponent, and that could be a rematch with Joshua,” said Hearn.

In their previous clash, Daniel Dubois shocked the world by knocking out Anthony Joshua, a loss that Joshua has yet to avenge or return from.
