Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois rematch location provided
When Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois step into the ring again, there will likely be even more anticipation than there was for their first fight. Dubois’s dominant performance, which resulted in a knockout of AJ, sent shockwaves through the boxing world. Now, the pressing question on everyone's mind is: what’s next for Joshua?
From his camp, it's clear that a rematch with Daniel Dubois is Joshua's top priority. But what could that rematch look like?
Promoter Eddie Hearn has provided some insight into the situation. In a recent interview with FightHubTV, Hearn revealed that there is a clause in the contract for a rematch scheduled for February. Despite speculation about Joshua potentially facing the loser of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury rematch, it appears AJ is eager to secure another fight sooner rather than later.
The initial match between Joshua and Dubois took place at Wembley Stadium in London, drawing a record-breaking 96,000 fans and making history for UK boxing attendance. However, it seems the rematch may not occur in London. When asked about the location, Hearn suggested it’s more likely to be part of the Riyadh Season, set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh Season runs from October to the end of February or early March, meaning the rematch would be staged in Saudi Arabia rather than England. Hearn also mentioned that he is currently awaiting AJ’s decision on his next steps. It’s possible that more details will emerge once Joshua's suspension from boxing is lifted.
With all signs indicating that Joshua is keen to rematch Dubois and rectify the mistakes from their first encounter, Saudi Arabia appears poised for a blockbuster showdown in February 2025.
