    These ReMatchroom contracts are a joke ! This one way deal basically ties Dubois up until Joshua decides what he is going to do next. I wonder if there is a way that Dubois could enforce the rematch with Joshua and if not then he needs to see if there is a time limit on it which enables him to continue his career on another path. Dubois and his Team need to know asap if Joshua is going to rematch or not ! It’s not right that Dubois has to wait around and Joshua decides what is next for his career. If Joshua is not going to rematch then Dubois and his Team should be notified asap. As for Hearn it’s not surprising one bit if he advices Joshua to avoid the rematch with Dubois and go for the more lucrative fight with Fury. If Joshua does avoid the contracted rematch it is going to be interesting to see what spin the Joshua die hards say about this blatant duck ! Tbh I think Joshua will do the rematch but we will see for sure soon enough .

    That's a stupid way to look at it.

    Make Dubois vs. Parker or the winner of Bakole-Kabayel

    I hate it when they look ahead to fights after fights that're not done yet. Rarely does that strategy go well.

    Personally I think if Fury beats Usyk, or Usyk prevails again, Fury will retire.

    Hey welcome back DramaShow!

    Wish Joshua would just go away tbh. Sick of hearing about him always getting these undeserved lucrative fights. Just fight Fury then they can both leave the HW scene.

    This is what the the saudis want. And Eddie only listens to the saudis because they have all the money and they want this fight so it will happen and AJ will get paid an absolute fortune and so we'll learn and fury

    I see no need in a rematch. Dubois was dominating and hell it wasn't even close before the KO

    Yep. Glass Joshua would just get KOed again. I’d much rather see Dubois against Big Bang Zhang.

    Blaming injuries is BS the real reason is they know Dubois smashes him up again so either Fury or Wilder next then probably Whyte and retirement

    Good for Bodybuilder. This time Dubois would have torn his soul apart.

    I think that fight makes sense if Fury loses to Usyk. Still a lot of interest there and a 'loser goes home/retires' type fight

    Why not AJ-Wilder at that rate and have Fres Oquendo finally get his shot at the titles?

    The subtle Hellraiser reference did not flew by me.

    This was always the end goal and the whole purpose for AJ's latest fights to prep him for Fury.

    They aren't beating around the bush anymore. Oh well. Dubois bested AJ and everyone knows it.
