Anthony Joshua is hoping to avenge his defeat to Daniel Dubois if he gets past Tyson Fury next month.<\/p>\n
Joshua suffered a crushing fifth-round knockout loss to Dubois in September 2024 in front of a packed-out Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n
He was knocked down four times en route to the eventual stoppage and spent over a year on the sidelines licking his wounds.<\/p>\n
An immediate rematch was briefly explored, but a proposed February date proved too tight a turnaround for Joshua, who was nursing an elbow injury in the aftermath of the brutal beating.<\/p>\n
While the ship looked to have sailed, the sequel could be placed back on the table if Joshua can overcome Fury on December 11 at Cardiff\u2019s Principality Stadium.<\/p>\n
That is because the WBA is expected to sanction the Battle of Britain as a \u2018super\u2019 world heavyweight title fight, meaning a bout with WBO champion Dubois would be a unification clash, and therefore big business.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t speak on Tyson\u2019s behalf, but for [Joshua], he still wants to be in the biggest fights of the sport,\u201d Joshua\u2019s promoter Eddie Hearn told BetOnline\u2019s Politely Raw with Pacman Jones (via talkSPORT.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got to be honest with you, and I know it\u2019s a very dangerous fight, but he wants to rematch Daniel Dubois.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Joshua] is a competitor, so he\u2019s looking at that, and anyone who has ever beaten him, he\u2019s rematched, apart from Daniel Dubois.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wants to have another go at Daniel Dubois, and this is second nature to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wants to avenge that defeat. It\u2019s a dangerous fight, but if he goes through Tyson Fury and stops Tyson Fury, then why not?<\/p>\n
\u201cThat would be for a title unification \u2013 or for a fight against [Filip] Hrgovic.\u201d<\/p>\n
