    That would be a pointless rematch, AJ got demolished and I don't see what he can do different in a rematch. He's done.

    He called Fury the champ right after he lost to Usyk too. Apparently he likes to meatride his favorites. Which tend to be losing now btw.

    Good fight. Really hope Dubois holds out for the lions share.

    The IBF should name a mandatory and save us from this nonsense.

    Actually, it would be hilarious if the IBF made it a non-title fight

    AJ had his chance and lost.

    I think Kabayel and Bakole deserve their shot at IBF tittle, since they are next in line after AJ.

    Damn, is Joshua still concussed, he must be for even thinking about jumping straigt back in there with Dan, but credit where credits due if he does.
    Can you imagine how quick he will run away from Dubois, i mean look at how he legged it from Ruiz in the second fight, if it is at wembley again he will insist the fight takes place on the pitch with the ropes being all around the touch lines!!

    I would tend to agree with you, but in this case, it was a one sided whoopin. AJ will most likely get knocked out again.

    It's a bit like Eric Molina getting an immediate rematch with Anthony Joshua.

    Quote of the fight for me...I watched Dubois and AJ on DAZN but now catching up on the TNT broadcast. Carl Frampton described AJ as having his chin so high 'he looked like he was trying to look over a fence.' Brilliant bit of imagery.

    Third watch for me, absolute demolition and Dan ate more than a few massive punches from AJ. Pretty sure his whiskers have been checked!! Can't see the need for a rematch.

    Joshua’s probably still the most marketable athlete in the sport or at least in the top 3 so he gets treated differently, it’s just the way it is.
    Boxing is a business first, a sport a distant second.

    Dubois should tell Joshua if he wants a rematch earn it,,He's got bigger fish to fry.

    Does Joshua, in theory, have the tools to potentially win a rematch? Yes.
    Does he deserve one after what happened in the first fight? No.
    His shot was his shot and what happened happened.
