    Besides, he needs a long break to get that chin screw tightened.
    Plus you know Hearn and AJ would drag that "immediate rematch" out like they did with Usyk too. Matchroom loves just holding up divisons.

        Dubois should rematch Joshua. he beats him again. It is the biggest fight for him outside Fury - Usyk winner.

        Dubois can lose to every other top 10 guy IMO. He would be crazy if he fought Bakole for example.

          Josh will want to avenge loss and I'm sure ddd would be happy to oblige in future it don't need to be next.
          Fight zhang, and then parker maybe?

            I think Joshua wins a rematch, not many will be saying that, but he's able fighter who can make adjustments with time.

              I think not. I think Dubois has his number, just as Usyk did, just a different way.

              How many big strong young lions that can punch did Joshua beat?

                I think Joshua getting cracked early had a strong influence on what came next, with the right game-plan I think he can subdue Dubois and land the shots he needs to get him out of there.

                To answer your latter question Joshua beat (a likely juiced) Dillion Whyte, I suppose everyone would claim Dubois beats Whyte, but that's not a given for me either, even now.

                  AJ agreed to step aside from his contracted immediate rematch with Usyk to allow Usyk to fight Fury for the undisputed crown, but Fury scuppered that by saying he would need a tune up first.

                  And it wasn't Matchroom who put the division on hold for 2 years so Fury and Wilder could fight each other 3 times.

                    I picked AJ to beat DD, but what I saw in their fight doesn't fill me with confidence that he could pull it off second time around.

                      Correct, but I can't imagine any game plan by team AJ that would stop that happening again in a rematch. Not an immediate rematch, at any rate.
