REMATCH IN RIYADH!

Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, revealed that his client is leaning towards a second crack at Dubois and the IBF belt, with a decision expected in the coming weeks.

“If it was up to AJ, straight rematch,” Hearn told FightHub.

“But he will take the advice of me and 258 (management) and Ben Davison and everybody, and then he will make the decision.”

The first encounter between Joshua and Dubois, which took place before 98,000 fans at Wembley, saw Dubois floor Joshua four times en route to a stunning fifth-round knockout victory.

This defeat, which is Joshua’s fourth career loss, sent shockwaves through the boxing world, with some pundits questioning the 34-year-old’s future in the sport.
