International Boxing Federation heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois has taken a jab at Anthony Joshua, questioning his relevance in the boxing world. Dubois, who defeated Joshua in September with a fifth-round knockout, urged the media to shift focus to active champions instead of dwelling on Joshua’s potential return.
While Dubois acknowledged the emotional aftermath of their bout, he expressed hope that Joshua is doing well despite his recent absence from the ring. Talks of a rematch remain uncertain, with Joshua’s camp reportedly prioritizing his full recovery. Meanwhile, Dubois is set to defend his IBF title against Joseph Parker in February.
Looking ahead, Dubois has his sights set on the winner of the anticipated Usyk-Fury rematch, aiming to secure the undisputed title. Reflecting on his journey, he said, “I’m ready to make my mark in boxing history as a new champion.”
