WHETHER he accepts a rematch or a move to the other side, Daniel Dubois’ fifth KO of Anthony Joshua has left the 27-year-old in a tough spot.
Dubois’ success has seen him rise Boxing News rankings from the sixth place to the third in our world 10. Only two men remain ahead of Daniel: Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, who meet again in the match on December 21. Usyk had already defeated Dubois, by stopping nine rounds in 2023 Poland. .
However, due to Dubois’ success from that night, mixed with the endless controversy, followed by Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and now Joshua, the heavy hitter would like his chance again. Usyk should beat Fury, of course. If Fury wins, depending on the circumstances, then a third fight could be on the table, leaving the best of the best to fight between them to remain at the bottom of the table.
Anthony Joshua’s shock defeat has seen him drop down to Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker, the latter being the heavyweight he previously beat. Zhang also lost to Parker but was considered a minority by everyone. The Chinese southpaw is rumored to be on the verge of agreeing to a fight with Boxing News’ top 10th heavyweight champion Martin Bakole.
Fast-rising Agit Kabayel, who has been talking about a possible fight with Joseph Parker, is seventh, looking to join the top five. Deontay Wilder (#9) and Filip Hrgovic (#8) are clinging to their positions.
