Johnny Nelson says it is clear that Anthony Joshua and promotor Eddie Hearn do not want a rematch with the champion IBF -A’s heavyweight category Daniel Dubois. They did not make a move to negotiate a rematch after Joshua was humiliating knockout of the fifth round of September 21 last year, and more focused on waiting for Tyson Fury to come out of retirement.
Waiting for anger
Nelson believes that Joshua (28-4, 25 ko) does not want to exceed the risk of fighting Dubois, because if he loses the second time, “he did” as a fighter. So, aj avoids deep like the plague, waiting for anger. He says that if Joseph Parker defeats Dubois in their fight on February 22, he will fight him. Joshua has already defeated Parker in 2018, so he is safe.
Hearn mentioned Deontay Wilder with Fury as two options. If Fury does not get out of retirement soon, Joshua is likely to face a 39-year-old wilderness. That’s another winning one for Joshua.
“When you talked about the rematch between Aj -a Daniel Dubois, he said he had injuries. So, he had to take some time for injuries. He was not injured now, and again talks about the fight,” Johnny Nelson said Boxing King Media Anthony Joshua shows that he was not interested in the fight against Daniel Dubois.
“Now the name Daniel Dubois is forgotten. He talks about the fight against x, y, z instead of fighting Daniel Dubois, because that fight could be guided tomorrow in heartbeat. So it tells me that people don’t want it or aj He doesn’t want to.
“I think money stops with AJ, and I’m quite sure that Eddie [Hearn] He is quite convincing in watching business or heart. I just think they are [Team Joshua] I don’t want that fight [Dubois]Because if he happens again, he finished. So, now it is the case that you hang around to see when Tyson returns from retirement or chooses the right -wing fight. “
It is so obvious that Hearn and Joshua do not want to ever fight Dubois again because they would already quickly pull the trigger on the rematch. When aj lost to Blimp, Andy Ruiz Jr. -A, June 1, 2019, Hearn immediately assembled a rematch at a low speed for December 7th. They could hardly wait to try to take revenge on the loss.
Joshua and Hearn don’t do it with Dubois. Initially, Hearn said Joshua was injured and needed time to heal. It’s been five months, and aj still doesn’t ask for a rematch, which can only mean one thing: I’m afraid. Although Hearn occasionally mentions that Dubois is one of the handfuls of an opponent who wants to fight Joshua, he did not make a move to negotiate it. It tells us that they lack confidence to fight.
No Bakola for Joshua
“I don’t think the fight against Martin Bakole will happen. I think it was a showman, two of them heads in the head. Wilder, that could happen. Now, I think it’s [AJ] mercenary. His ambitions to become a world champion again [is not there]Or if Joseph Parker beat Daniel Dubois, I see him entering Joseph Parker, “Nelson said.
