Anthony Joshua was present ringside for the Matchroom versus Queensberry card in Saudi Arabia and had a decisive reaction when asked about his potential next opponent, Daniel Dubois.
The event saw Frank Warren’s fighters dominate, winning every bout, most by knockout, against Eddie Hearn’s stable.
In two significant heavyweight matchups, Zhilei Zhang potentially ended Deontay Wilder’s career with a fifth-round stoppage. Meanwhile, Daniel Dubois faced Fillip Hrgovic in a fierce contest marked by powerful exchanges. The fight was ultimately stopped by the doctor due to severe cuts on Hrgovic, although Dubois appeared likely to win by knockout.
Dubois’ victory earned him the interim IBF world champion title, setting the stage for a potential clash with Joshua for the full title at Wembley in September.
Eddie Hearn shared Joshua’s reaction to Dubois’ win, saying, “I’ll f**k everybody up. He’s ready to beat anybody and he will beat anybody in the division.”
Joshua, with three knockouts in his last three fights, is anticipated to bring an all-action approach to a potential all-British showdown with Dubois.
