In a fiery twist of events, British boxing star Anthony Joshua has publicly taunted Daniel Dubois, calling him a “big loser” after Dubois reportedly turned down a massive $35 million offer for a highly anticipated rematch. The two fighters, who have been at the center of ongoing speculation around a potential bout, seem to have hit a wall in negotiations, sparking a new wave of tension in the heavyweight division.
After their previous encounter, which ended in a controversial decision, Joshua’s camp has been pushing hard for a rematch. The massive $35 million offer reportedly included a significant incentive for Dubois, as fans have eagerly awaited a rematch that would give Dubois a chance to redeem himself and settle the score with Joshua. However, Dubois’ camp has declined the lucrative offer, citing reasons that have not yet been publicly disclosed, leaving fans puzzled and Joshua unimpressed.
Joshua did not hold back in expressing his frustration, quickly taking to social media to mock Dubois. “Big loser!” he taunted, questioning why Dubois would turn down such an opportunity. Joshua, known for his no-nonsense attitude in and out of the ring, framed Dubois’ decision as a lack of confidence or perhaps an unwillingness to face him again. The comment quickly went viral, with fans sharing and debating Joshua’s message, as well as Dubois’ reasoning behind his decision to reject the offer.
While Dubois has yet to respond directly to Joshua’s comments, his team has hinted that the decision may have been influenced by several factors, including training adjustments and potential shifts in Dubois’ career focus. Dubois, a rising star in the heavyweight division, may be looking to explore different opponents and opportunities, or he may simply be taking his time to prepare for a future showdown.
Some insiders speculate that Dubois’ refusal could be a strategic move to renegotiate terms or explore higher payouts elsewhere. However, by walking away from such a high-profile rematch, Dubois risks not only a massive payday but also the chance to boost his standing in the heavyweight rankings with a win over the former unified champion, Joshua.
The news of Dubois’ decision has divided the boxing community, with some fans backing Joshua’s frustration and viewing Dubois’ refusal as a missed opportunity. On the other hand, Dubois’ supporters argue that he should have the freedom to determine his own path forward, without feeling pressured by the offers or taunts from Joshua. The heavyweight division, full of competitive talent and heated rivalries, has seen many similar scenarios play out as fighters maneuver for the best positions.
While the rematch remains uncertain, the war of words has undoubtedly heightened the rivalry between Joshua and Dubois. As fans wait to see if Dubois will respond to Joshua’s taunts or reconsider his decision, it’s clear that the heavyweight division continues to generate excitement with its mix of competitive talent and intense personalities.
