Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated that Daniel Dubois is the frontrunner to face Anthony Joshua in his next bout. Speaking to talkSPORT, Hearn stated, “Daniel Dubois still [is the frontrunner]. In an ideal world, he will fight Fury, if not Dubois.”
This development comes amid uncertainty surrounding Tyson Fury’s boxing future. Fury announced his retirement in January 2025, casting doubt on a potential high-profile fight against Joshua.
As a result, Hearn is exploring alternative opponents for Joshua, with Dubois emerging as the leading candidate. Dubois, known for his power and resilience, presents a formidable challenge for Joshua, and a matchup between the two British heavyweights would likely generate significant interest among boxing fans.
The boxing community eagerly awaits official confirmation of Joshua’s next opponent, as discussions continue to shape the future landscape of the heavyweight division.
