why did anthony joshua turn down dubois rematch ?

The way Hearn thinks, he'll want to try to send other HW's in to fight Dubious on the chance they can weaken him for AJ later, just like he used to do with Whyte.[/QUOTE]

Just like Hearn made sure that Beterbiev fought every one of his mandatory’s when they were due,whilst delaying the Undisputed fight as long as possible. Where as Bivol his star fighter has made only one mandatory defence in the same time (over 7 year iirc) I honestly hope that should Fury beat Usyk in the rematch he either has a trilogy with Usyk or goes for all the marbles in a fight with Dubois. Hearn/Joshua should not be allowed to make opponents sign up for one way rematches if they are then going to back out of it leaving the opponents career on hold until they decide what there going to do next .

 

There was a one way rematch in Joshua’s favour in the contract,so despite what Warren might want,Warren knows if Joshua invokes the rematch clause then that is that .

I don't mean to embarrass you but it is pronounced dew-boy-ice.

 

No there was not. AJ had two more fights on contract with the saudi team. There never was a rematch clause.

 

So your saying the link I posted in regards to Warren stating there is a one way rematch in Joshua’s favour is wrong ? I mean what would Warren know about it lol

 

Its been stated several times after the fight. Even Hearn has admitted it.

 

Its an old link you have there. Its since been clarified that its not a rematch clause AJ has , but an option for one more fight with the saudies...

 

He got a taste of Dubois and wants no more. Only 2 scenarios left: another run of trashing some tomato cans hoping to grab a belt a long the way, or cash in trough the short route.

 

Yeah, I think I saw a video headline somewhere along those lines also.

Hopefully opens the door for Parker or Zhang.
