🚨 Rival tells Anthony Joshua he’s made a huge mistake in NOT taking Daniel Dubois rematch

Posted by

Dillian Whyte believes Anthony Joshua made a huge mistake in NOT taking a rematch with Daniel Dubois.

Last September ‘AJ’ was brutally knocked out by Dubois who was making the first defence of his IBF heavyweight crown.

It was expected that Joshua would take the immediate rematch, but Dubois now faces Joseph Parker next month instead.

Meanwhile, Joshua, has been linked with showdowns with Martin Bakole and Deontay Wilder- that is following Tyson Fury’s retirement anyway.

Former Joshua victim, Dillian Whyte believes he should have forced a second encounter with Dubois and in a recent interview explained exactly why.

He told Sky Sports News: “He made a huge mistake not taking the immediate rematch with Dubois,”

“It was a world title fight, a great payday and the perfect opportunity.

“He will forever have to suffer the memes of being face-planted at Wembley by Dubois. When I lost to [Alexander] Povetkin, I crashed Eddie Hearn’s live interview and demanded the rematch

“Nothing else mattered until I beat him in the rematch. It’s a mindset thing. I want to fight AJ and Tyson again because they both beat me.”

Whyte lost to Joshua way back in 2015 when he was knocked out in the seventh round of their clash at the O2.

They were due to rematch on August 12, 2023 at the O2 Arena in London, but the fight was canceled after Whyte failed a drug test.

Since then Whyte has beaten Christian Hammer and Ebenezer Tetteh.

Who should Joshua face next? Let us know in the comments.
