The IBF world super heavyweight champion plans to return to the ring in early February next year.
Daniel Dubois will defend his IBF title again next February. This was announced by the promoter of British boxer Frank Warren.
At the same time, an opponent for the world heavyweight champion has yet to be chosen. According to the functionary, he is not opposed to having a rematch against Anthony Joshua.
“I’m not against it at all. For me it’s not just an open door, I’ll take the door off the hinges and we’ll do it. If they want it, they’ll get it, they’ll get it right away.
Dubois’ next fight will take place in February. We will decide who he will fight in the next week or two,” Warren was quoted as saying by Boxing News 24/7.
At the same time, Daniel Dubois’ co-promoter, Bob Arum, denied what his colleague said. According to the American, he is against revenge and plans to organize a unification fight for the title of absolute world champion.
“It used to be famous in the super heavyweight division: two big guys come out, punch each other and one of them knocks the other out, I mean, it’s exciting.”
No revenge – it was Eddie Hearn’s bullshit. There is no rematch clause, Dubois signed a two-fight deal with the Saudis and I really think his best fight is against the winner of Fury-Usyk and that’s what he’ll do,” said Arum on Fight Hub TV.
We remind you that Daniel Dubois easily defeated Anthony Joshua, knocking out his opponent in the fifth round, having previously knocked him down three times.
Earlier in Saudi Arabia they announced Joshua’s imminent return to the ring.
