    Joshua can't force Dubois rematch

    So, according to what Frank Warren has told British media, Anthony Joshua didn't have a rematch clause going into the Dubois fight. AJ has a contractual obligation for one more fight with Riyadh Season - that's his deal with the Saudis. But Dubois doesn't have to give him a rematch according to Queensbury. Team Dubois would love to do it again it seems and think it would be even more devastating second time around, and easy money for DDD.

    The boxing pundits are pretty much unanimous that there shouldn't be a rematch, with Simon Jordan being the only contrary voice. Most want AJ to retire or have one last fight against Fury. I would like to see that if Fury loses vs Usyk. But even this older, less mobile version of Fury should still handle Joshua easily. He might have to carry him for the first few rounds just so it doesn't end too quickly. AJ could always land one and change the fight, but that's a 10%-20% chance of happening.

      I watched his interview on Sky Sports earlier and I'm quite positive he said that AJ does have a rematch clause for Dubois.

        I didn’t see the interview y’all are mentioning, but I could’ve sworn Warren mentioned there being a rematch clause in the ring after the fight too.

          I've just rewatched it and he does say "There is a rematch clause, but we don't have one" so maybe that is the case.

          Not too sure how these Riyad things work.

          I'd rather not see a rematch.

            So Eddie Hearn's confirmed it, TS is right, there is a rematch clause but it's with Riyad Season, not Dubois himself.

            So Dubois isn't obligated to rematch AJ. Great stuff.

              I cannot imagine why Team Joshua would want a rematch with DDD. Difficult opponent for A.J., as any huge puncher would be. Rematches should be reserved for competitive contests, which Dubois - Joshua was certainly not.

                    They can fight again after DuBois fights the Fury v Usyk winner in 2025. No f-cking way AJ should be allowed to exercise that clause before.

                    Besides, he needs a long break to get that chin screw tightened.
