Details of the Rematch
The proposed date for the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois rematch has been unveiled. Dubois, who shocked AJ at Wembley last month with a stunning victory, is set to face Joshua again in 2025 after their September showdown.
Provisional Date and Location
Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh disclosed that the rematch is tentatively scheduled for February 22, 2025. While Wembley hosted their first encounter, the second fight might likely take place in the Saudi desert.
Promoter's Insight
Eddie Hearn, AJ's promoter, hinted that the rematch could be part of Riyadh Season, which runs from October to early March. This aligns with the potential timeframe for the highly anticipated bout.
IBF Decision and Future Prospects
Despite the IBF ordering a fight between Agit Kabayel and Martin Bakole, which could impact Dubois' challenger, there are indications that the rematch with Joshua could proceed before addressing the mandatory challenger issue. Dubois eyes a shot at becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion next year.
