On Saturday night at Wembley Stadium, Anthony Joshua was stopped by Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of his attempt to capture a third heavyweight world title.
Even though Anthony Joshua lost badly to Daniel Dubois at Wembley, he may still fight Tyson Fury in the following year.
Joshua’s attempt to become the first heavyweight world champion to win the title three times was stopped when the current champion at Wembley knocked him down three times and won in the fifth round.
He believed that winning would position him for a decisive bout against the victor of Fury’s Christmas rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
But even if Joshua never challenges for a world title once more, in the event that Fury is defeated by the Ukrainian twice, he might still square off against his British opponent. “I don’t think this fight will be the end of his [Joshua’s] career,” stated Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter. But like I mentioned, he’s in the last
That was a major setback because we had high hopes of winning tonight and facing Usyk’s opponent, the winner of Fury. If Tyson Fury wins the fight, we might have to fight the loser.
“There are fights available, including the Dubois rematch. It really comes down to going back to the gym, taking a break, and evaluating your progress when you return with [trainer] Ben [Davison]. A lot is dependent upon your level of performance in the gym.
Joshua stated unequivocally that he does not plan to take off his gloves. “I’m sure you’re wondering if I want to think about fighting still. “I want to keep fighting, of course,” he said.
