Anthony was knocked out by Daniel on September 21, suffering the fourth defeat of his professional career.
Former British heavyweight David Price suggested that the best option for the former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KO) would be immediate rematch with IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs).
“It’s a win-win for AJ because he’s already been knocked out by him [Дюбуа]. If he goes straight to the rematch, there will be two outcomes: he wins and corrects his mistakes immediately, which is great, or he loses again and gets knocked out again, which has already happened anyway.
“There will still be a Tyson Fury fight, there will still be a Deontay Wilder fight, there will still be a Zhang fight [Чжилэя]. So Anthony Joshua will win if he takes revenge right away. An absolute win.”
Let us remind you that Dubois defeated Joshua in a fight that took place in London on Saturday, September 21. Daniel knocked down AJ three times and knocked out his opponent in the fifth round. Dubois defended the IBF title, which he received after Oleksandr Usyk abandoned it.
The Joshua-Dubois fight set a new record for the largest number of spectators in the 21st century for a boxing match. The boxing evening at Wembley Stadium in London was attended by 98,128 people.

AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn said that the fight contract included a rematch option. However, Bob Arum denied this statement, calling it “fiction.” Dubois coach Don Charles believes his player should prepare thoroughly for any upcoming opponent.
