Daniel Dubois Isn’t Obligated To Give Anthony Joshua A Rematch – Promoter

Popular boxer, Anthony Joshua’s hope of a rematch against Daniel Dubois is now in jeopardy.

This is coming two days after he was knocked out at Wembley, and fans have been reacting.

Despite AJ’s promoter, Eddie Hearn recently saying that there is a rematch clause and his fighter was likely to activate it in the aftermath of his Saturday defeat, Dubois’ promoter, Frank Warren has rubbished claims of any rematch clause.

According to him, Dubois does not have any guaranteed rematch clause in his contract, so he does not know what Eddie is talking about.

He, however, added that his camp would be open to discussing a second fight between the boxers.

WOW.

Anthony Joshua, OBE (born 15 October 1989) is a British professional boxer who is a two-time unified heavyweight champion, having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles since December 2019 and previously between 2016 and June 2019. At regional level, he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry. Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people, amongst whom he is of aristocratic rank.

His cousin, Ben Ileyemi, is also a professional boxer. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013. Joshua spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School in Ikenne.

Following his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, he was called “Femi” by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name, Oluwafemi. He excelled at football and athletics and broke his school’s Year Nine 100 m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.
