Anthony Joshua will battle the champ of the Oleksandr Usyk versus Tyson Fury rematch in 2025 on the off chance that he beats Daniel Dubois on Sept. 21, as per the fighter’s advertiser Eddie Hearn.
Joshua 28-3, 25 KOs, 34, offers to turn into a three-time world heavyweight champion when he challenges English opponent Daniel Dubois 21-2, 20 KOs, 26, at Wembley Arena in London before a normal 96,000 fans, the most elevated swarm ever for an enclosing occasion the UK.
Assuming Joshua wins, he will set up a considerably greater battle against either English adversary Fury or Usyk, who beat Joshua on points in 2021 and 2022.
WBA-WBO-IBF champion Usyk 22-0, 14 KOs, 37, will faces Fury in Saudi Arabia on Dec. 21 after he outpointed Fury 34-1-1, 24 KOs, 36, in May.
Joshua and Fury have been connected to battling each other for four years at this point, however Hearn trusts it will at long last occur one year from now in a two-section series.
Joshua, who governed as champion from 2016 to 2019 and afterward from 2019 to 2021, has two times had dealings with previous WBC champion Fury separate and neglect to deliver a battle, in spite of the battle being esteemed at £200 million out of 2020.
Hearn told correspondents: “On the off chance that he wins on Sept. 21 I accept he will battle Tyson Fury, win or lose against Usyk; however he likewise needs to battle Usyk for undisputed, that is forever been his fantasy.
“The extraordinary thing about Sept. 21 is I know Turki Alalshikh, who runs boking Saudi Arabia will glance around at Wembley and will be passing on to do another. In an optimal world, and this isn’t anything I have talked about with Alalshikh, AJ wins, Fury wins, two battles one year from now for undisputed, one in Riyadh, one in Wembley. That is only my expectation however you have seen Turki’s astuteness to do shows all over the planet, in Los Angeles, in London, and I think he will adore Wembley.
“That’s what I know whether Joshua wins Sept. 21 the main battle he will need is the victor of Usyk versus Fury II. Try not to get me wrong he has for practically forever needed to battle Fury, he will make it happen, yet when the choice is perused out on Sept. 21, he will need the victor of that battle since he’s just a single battle away from being undisputed himself.
“In any case, on the off chance that could be Fury, to battle Fury for undisputed, it would be huge. On the off chance that Usyk wins, he will need to battle Usyk. Ben Davidson has shared with me assuming he battles Usyk he will take him out. He had no course of action going into those Usyk battles.”
Hearn is sure Dubois versus Joshua will sell out the lengthy limit of 96,000, to make it greater than Joshua’s other arena battles against Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Arena in 2021, Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Arena in 2018, Joseph Parker at Realm Arena in 2018 and Wladimir Klitschko, which was watched by 90,000 at Wembley Arena in 2017.
Hearn additionally figures Joshua’s prominence is areas of strength for as could be expected after he has remade his career following losses to Andy Ruiz in 2019and two times to Usyk. In the past a year ago, Joshua has won three battles by KO.
He said: Stand by until you witness what is going to in London throughout the following fourteen days with this promotion, taking your breath away is going. It’s monstrous for boxing, the promotion action. Envision the greatest promo of any battle you have seen, and afterward joined 100 rockets to it and you are off by a long shot.
His last two battles have been out on the road. We haven’t had an arena battle with Usyk starting around 2021 in the UK, yet the energy is back with him after the successes over Otto Wallin in December 2022 and Francis Ngannou in March. He’s had several losses yet he’s as yet enormous. The force from an AJ prevail upon Dubois would bring him into a gigantic 2025 which could be the extremely important occasion of his career.
