A BRIT DIFFERENT 

Anthony Joshua tipped to snub Daniel Dubois ‘revenge’ and instead target Tyson Fury fight in huge Battle of Britain

A date and venue had already been eyed

ANTHONY JOSHUA has thrown his rematch with Daniel Dubois into doubt as he now eyes a fight against Tyson Fury.

AJ was dropped FOUR times on the way to a brutal fifth-round knockout defeat at Wembley in September.

And he was expected to rematch Dubois in a bid for revenge – already eyed for February in Saudi Arabia.

But his promoter Eddie Hearn revealed the turnaround looks to be too close – leaving the rematch facing the KO.

Hearn told BBC Sport: “AJ desperately wants revenge but the only issue is timing.

“For the rematch to happen in February, training camp will have to start in a couple of weeks.

“There are always niggles and he had a few so physically it’s just a case of whether AJ is ready to do that.”

Fury, 36, rematches Oleksandr Usyk, 37, on December 21 following his loss in their May undisputed title decider.

But Usyk was forced to vacate the IBF belt to proceed with the return as Dubois inherited the belt after being elevated from interim champ.

With Joshua, 34, planning a May comeback he could now sit and wait to fight Fury opposed to a rematch with Dubois.

Hearn added: “It would be frustrating if we made the Dubois rematch and Fury won.

“Then we’re sitting there going ‘hang on a minute, we’re fighting Dubois but we could have fought Fury in May for the biggest fight in boxing.’

“Win or lose, we can fight Fury next summer. But if he wins, AJ fights him for the world title.”

This is a modal window.
