    Dubois has had a lot of hard fights back to back, he deserves also to be able to avenge that loss.

    AJ as far as I am concerned is all washed up. Enough Matchroom fc mongs will buy any fight he is in, the opponent doesnt matter to these people. They can re-run the first fight beef and it will sell.

    Apart from the Francis Ngannou circus, Turki Alshaikh has been very good for the heavyweight division. But this seems like a bad move.

    This is why boxers need real, thorough teams around them. A team that will tell them the truth about wins/losses, where they still stand concerning their careers etc..............guys that won't be afraid to tell them those "harsh truths"

    By what possible reasoning does he deserve another shot at Daniel Dubois' IBF title?

    I can't remember a heavyweight challenger being so comprehensively beaten up in a challenge, lasting less than 5 rounds, and then people seriously discussing him getting an immediate rematch ..... wtf?

    'The Champ will return soon.'

    The blatant bias is becoming comically apparent.

    Yes. The tweet is date 25 Sept 2024.
    It's precisely THREE YEARS since Joshua has been "The Champ".
    He's had had two opportunities to regain, and failed miserably.

    Ridiculous, isn't it? I'd like to see Usyk and Dubois win their rematches just to spite Turki. Very obvious what his game is.

    Not interested in this. Would like to see someone else get a shot. Parker, Zhang, Kabayel or Bakole.

    But if they go ahead hopefully they skip Liam Gallagher screaching for 20 minutes this time. That hurt my head.

    Really poor decision from Hearn if true. Wilder is a more winnable fight with more name recognition from casuals than Dubois, he should be targeting AJ-Wilder instead of letting his golden goose get battered by Dubois again in what will be a career-ender.

    Meh. No need to run this back. Let's see some different matchups.

    Would like to see Dubois vs Parker & Joshua vs Bakole.

    Doesn't matter what you and I and the rest of the fans want. The script says Joshua gets to skip the line once again, because he's the main character. Bakole and Parker, their families, their hard work don't matter as much as bodybuilder top model AJ and his future biopic

    Joshua has done better in every rematch he has had even against Usyk although he lost he had a far better gameplan.

    I still think Joshua has a decent shot he stunned Dubois quite badly with the only clean right hand he landed.
