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.
