'Joshua vs Dubois Is a Fight People Would Buy Tickets To See' - Says Frank Warren
Frank Warren, a well-known name in boxing promotion, has given a new idea for who Anthony Joshua could fight next. Talks for a big fight between Joshua and Deontay Wilder haven't gone anywhere, and Joshua is trying to get his career back on track. He lost two big fights to Oleksandr Usyk in the past two years. Even though he's fought twice since then, against Jermaine Franklyn and Robert Helenius, many people feel he hasn’t shown his best form in those matches. Warren talked to IFL TV and said that if Joshua can't fight Wilder, he should consider fighting Daniel Dubois. Warren thinks this would be a really exciting fight that a lot of people in the UK would want to watch. The fight would be a test to see who can punch harder and who has more courage in the ring. He believes that the fight could be a big success and that a lot of people would buy tickets to see it.
“I’ll tell you what would be a good fight if that one doesn’t happen, a good fight in the UK, a fight people would buy tickets to see and see who is the biggest puncher and who has the biggest heart, him and Daniel Dubois.”Before any of this can happen, there is one thing that needs to be sorted out. Dubois is currently trying to change the decision of his own fight with Usyk through an appeal with the World Boxing Association (WBA). So that issue needs to be resolved first. Dubois is still pretty young at 26 years old, so he has a lot of time to get back to the top level of boxing. But for Joshua, time is of the essence. He likely wants a fight that will quickly put him back in the picture for a world title. He wants to get back to the top, and he's probably looking for the fastest way to do that. So, while a fight between Joshua and Dubois would be interesting and could draw a big crowd, it would also have to make sense for both boxers' career plans. Warren's idea is exciting, but there are a few things that need to be sorted out before it can become a reality.
"Who’s got the biggest heart? Who’s gunna grit their teeth? You can’t say it wouldn’t sell. It would sell. It’s a big fight."
