Anthony Joshua has been given a surprising opportunity to face fellow British boxer Daniel Dubois following the uncertainty surrounding his potential fight with Deontay Wilder.

Wilder match in jeopardy

AJ was in talks for a highly-anticipated grudge match with Wilder, but negotiations have hit a roadblock after Saudi Arabia pulled out as the venue.

The finances for the clash have been agreed upon, but promoter Eddie Hearn is struggling to secure an alternative location.

Frank Warren offers domestic dust-up

In light of the doubts surrounding the Joshua-Wilder fight, rival promoter Frank Warren has proposed a domestic showdown between Joshua and Dubois.

Warren, the head of Queensberry Promotions, believes the fight would be a sellout and a major pay-per-view event.

Dubois coming off a loss

Dubois is looking to recover from his recent defeat against Oleksandr Usyk, who currently holds the unified heavyweight titles.

Joshua, on the other hand, is riding a two-fight win streak after victories against Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.

Keeping busy

If the Wilder fight fails to materialize, Joshua is looking to stay active and aims to have a third fight this year.

Matchroom Boxing Chief Eddie Hearn expressed Joshua's desire to continue fighting, stating that they are open to facing other opponents if necessary.

Possible venues

Hearn mentioned potential venues for Joshua's next fight, including Madison Square Garden or a location in the Middle East.

Regardless of the outcome, Joshua remains focused on staying active and keeping fans entertained.
