AJ/Dubois rematch - IS OFF!

Joshua got hurt badly against Dubois and took a lot of big punches that would have knocked out cold most other heavyweights. It wouldn’t be wise for him to rush into a rematch in February as he would need longer to recover and heal properly.

 

Decoded "I want to milk a few more paydays from AJ before he gets splattered again"

 

Pretty sure one of The Brits on here predicted this a few weeks ago - that AJ would duck a Dubois rematch and try to fight Fury instead.

Fury isn't beating Usyk and I think there is a high probability Fury gets knocked spark out.

 

Shouldn't be rematching at all TBH. I kinda turn my nose at rematches where one person was so utterly dominated the winner is a clear superior.

 

Not to mention that Dubois was the champion and the challenger had a rematch clause. Utterly ridiculous.

 

Wasn't the planned date for the rematch like the end of February? How long a camp were they planning on?

Joshua don't want no more of Dubois. That much is obvious.

 

joshua is finished

 

The Saudi's will dictate what happens next.....thats the way boxing is going to go for now

 

Very very wise decision, Dubois would have absolutely smoked Joshua in a rematch, terrible fight for him stylistically

 

Turki and Eddie openly discussed the rematch going ahead recently and even mentioned a date.

No, don't lay the blame on Turki for this.

This is a duck not a Turki.

 

How does coming of a KTFO lost earn you a title shot????

 

I'm guessing Turki has a plan for AJ then....afterall money talks!! Btw I don't disagree with ya on it being a duck

 

Joshua deserves a belt because he's Joshua.

Get ready for Joshua vs the winner of Charr/Pulev for WBA regular HW Champion Belt glory !!!!

 

Make Whyte 2 or Joshua-Chisora finally happen.

 

This is just a stalling tactic to see if Fury beats Usyk then Hearn will try his hardest to make Fury v Joshua.Joshua can not be getting gifted big fights,he has to earn it and coming off a one sided beating loss is not the way to earn a fight with either Fury or Usyk. Dubois Parker Kabayel and even Zhang are all far more deserving than Joshua,this ReMatchroom contract stuff is bollocks ! It basically leaves Dubois tied up with his career until Joshua decides to either take the rematch or not ! Hearn would love nothing more than to cash Joshua out with a fight with Fury,that has always been his plan and even better for him if it was for most of the belts imho .
