Anthony Joshua’s promoter has revealed a shortlist of three possible opponents for the British heavyweight’s next fight, following his shocking knockout defeat by Daniel Dubois.
Joshua faced Dubois at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night for the IBF heavyweight title, where he was knocked out in the fifth round in front of 96,000 spectators.
Despite the loss, the two-time heavyweight champion has ruled out retirement, and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, is already working on plans for Joshua’s comeback.
In an interview with iFLTV, Hearn mentioned that Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and a rematch with Dubois are all being considered for Joshua’s next fight.
Initially, Hearn stated that Joshua had a rematch clause for another fight with Dubois, but he later clarified that no such clause exists.
Instead, Joshua has one remaining fight on his contract as part of ‘Riyadh Season,’ which could potentially be against Dubois.
