Anthony Joshua’s Quest for Redemption Delayed

Anthony Joshua’s highly anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury has hit a roadblock. Following his devastating loss to Daniel Dubois, Joshua must rebuild his credibility before securing marquee fights.

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, believes the British star remains the biggest name in the heavyweight division, despite the crushing defeat. “Fury, win or lose, will want to fight AJ next,” Hearn stated.

However, Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren disagrees. “AJ needs to establish credibility,” Warren emphasized, highlighting Joshua’s uphill battle.

The path to redemption is complicated:

• Immediate Dubois rematch ruled out
• Dubois defends IBF title on February 22 against a yet-to-be-announced opponent
• Potential summer rematch with Dubois, depending on Fury vs. Usyk outcome
• Alternative opponents: Joseph Parker, Zhilei Zhang, or Fabio Wardley

The heavyweight landscape has shifted dramatically since Dubois’s shock victory. Joshua’s future hangs in the balance.
