    If Dubois wants it, what other reason is needed?

    I could enjoy seeing AJ get KOd in round one doesn't mean we need to see it again, and again, and again. It stalls the division and AJ clearly isn't ready.

    Did you enjoy AJ v Charles Martin? Where's that rematch?

    Stalls the division?

    Fury v Usyk are fighting again, why should Dubois have another easy win for big money?

    If he beats AJ again he fights the winner of Usyk v Fury.

    It's a no brainer.

    All reward, no risk.

    Joshua showed nothing in the first fight to suggest he has a chance of beating Dubois.

    A rematch next fight is a career ender for Joshua.

    Joshua's handlers don't seem like boxing people. Just businessmen but not one person in his whole camp with any actual boxing knowledge. Are these the same people that thought Usyk would be too small and a cherrypick? So much ignorance and so much arrogance...

    In a period of less than 2 years Joshua has had 5 different trainers.

    Rob McCracken
    Robert Garcia
    Derrick James
    Angel Fernandez
    Ben Davison

    It seems he still hasn't worked out that the problem is actually him.

    AJ hasn't held a belt for 3 years. What's he champion of?

    After losing to Dubios who ranked 6 at the time you'd expect AJ to be rank 7 or 8.

    Frightening KO loss to Dubois
    2x one sided losses to Usyk
    Wins over Ngannou, Wallin, Franklin, Helenius

    What kind of record is that? Thats the kind of record you would expect from a club fighter.

    Fury and Usyk are already in a rematch, so they have to wait regardless. Dubois beating AJ again doesn't affect anyone else in the top ten.

    Of course it affects everyone else. Usyk and Fury aren't the only other heavyweights in the top ten.

    Coming to York Hall, October 2028 ... Dubois - Joshua 9 ... Joshua thinks he might win this one because of Dubois' recent injuries.

    Winner fights the victor of Fury - Chisora 8.
