        Yeh, so I think rematch can happen if public want to see again for whatever reason. Don't think it needs to happen. Maybe ddd needs to best josh again to be deemed greater historically?

          I'd rather see a rematch where Oilskin Parker gives Princess Joshy the fairytale ending he deserves.

          Facedown, butt in the air, fast asleep after a jolly good battering!

            Barrera had 7 fights between their rematch and Pac had 8, so by no means immediate for an uncompetitive fight

                  Dubois should give him a rematch. Joshua is the biggest money fight available for him right now.

                  Dubois could lose to any other contender fir far less money.

                    Dubois was the champion. He won every round convincingly, putting AJ down in 4 out of the 5 rounds. The ending was conclusive, no controversy.

                    Financial reasons aside, anyone have any interest in a rematch?
                    I'd be interested to see how big a rematch is. Surely it wouldn't fill Wembley. AJ couldn't even fill the o2 anymore a few fights ago but they did a decent job of convincing the public he was back and the all British affair kind of made it an event, but we've seen it now and it was one-sided.

                    I think if the Saudis weren't involved, the rematch would make absolutely no financial sense anymore. Dubois and Warren would want the majority of the purse and I'm not sure AJs team would take a dangerous fight for the minority share in a 20,000 capacity fight.

                    But the Saudis are involved and I don't think profit at this moment is their main focus because of the money they're throwing at fighters, they are just building a brand. so I guess if they are interested in the rematch, then financially it still works but I don't think we need to see it again.

                    I'm sure Dubois won't mind it though. He can get nice Saudi money again to chin AJ again.
