Daniel Dubois has had his say on a potential rematch with Anthony Joshua.
Dubois retained his IBF heavyweight title with a stunning fifth round knockout win against Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September.
Attention immediately turned to whether an immediate rematch could be next, with February touted as an option if it was to go ahead.
Dubois has now shared his thoughts on taking on ‘AJ’ again, telling BoxNation that he feels his heavyweight rival will have demons on his mind.
“He’ll have a lot of demons playing on his mind. Who knows if people are talking him into it, I don’t know. I know from my side I’m ready to go out there and show the world that I’m the king.”
If not Joshua for Dubois next, the 27-year-old is keen to try and avenge his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, if Usyk is able to beat Tyson Fury in their rematch in December.
“That’s unfinished business. I want to get that one right. I want to do it properly and finish him. It will be a good fight, a unification fight, that’s massive.”
Dubois fought Usyk in August 2023, and did send the Ukrainian to the canvas with what he thought was a body shot, but it was ruled a low blow, and Usyk went on to win by ninth round stoppage.
As for Joshua, he’ll be looking to get his career back on track and become world champion again if he takes on Dubois next, and ‘AJ’ has recently named the heavyweight who he says he ‘ruined with one punch.’
