Nelson: Hearn and Joshua don’t want DuBois’ fight


Johnny Nelson says it’s clear that Anthony Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn don’t want a rematch with IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois. They have not made the move to negotiate a rematch after Joshua’s humiliating fifth round knockout on September 21st last year, and are focused on waiting for Tyson Fury to escape from his retirement. Masu.

I’m waiting for anger

Nelson believes Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) doesn’t want to risk fighting DuBois again if he “ends” as a fighter and loses again. So, like the plague, AJ avoids DuBois and waits for his rage. He says that if Joseph Parker defeats DuBois in their fight on February 22nd, AJ will fight him. Joshua already beat Parker in 2018, so he’s safe.

Hearn mentions two possibilities along with Deontay Wilder and Fury. If Fury can’t get out of retirement soon, Joshua will likely face 39-year-old Wilder. That’s another easy win for Joshua.

“When you were talking about AJ and Daniel Dubois’ rematch, he said he was injured. So he had to rest for a while because of the injury. Now he’s not injured. , he’s talking about fighting again,” Johnny Nelson said. Boxing King Media About Anthony Joshua, who shows he is not interested in fighting Daniel Dubois again.

“Now, Daniel Dubois’ name is forgotten. He’s talking about fighting X, Y and Z instead of fighting Daniel Dubois. It’s to me that AJ people don’t want that. It tells you, or AJ doesn’t want that.

“I think Buck will stop at AJ. I’m sure it’s very persuasive for Eddie (Hern) to see the business and the heart. They (Team Joshua) wanted that fight (Dubois). I don’t think there’s. So now it’s a case of Tyson wandering around to see when he’s back from his retirement or when he picks the right available fight.”

It’s very clear that Hearn and Joshua don’t want a part of their fight with DuBois as they’ve already pulled the trigger right away in the rematch again. When AJ lost to airship Andy Ruiz Jr. on June 1, 2019, Hearn quickly put together the rematch at the speed of light on December 7th that year. They could not wait to revenge the loss.

Joshua and Hearn don’t do that with DuBois. Initially, Hearn said Joshua was injured and he needed time to heal. It’s currently five months and AJ isn’t looking for a rematch yet. This only means one thing. He is afraid. Hearn occasionally says that DuBois is one of the handful of enemies, and Joshua wants to fight, but he does not make the move to negotiate it. It shows us that they are not confident in fighting.

No Bakole for Joshua

“I don’t think there’s going to be a fight with Martin Bacall. I think it was the showman, they’re head-on for the two. Wilder, that could happen. Now, I’m sure he’s ( AJ) I think he’s a mercenary. His ambition to become a world champion again (not there) or if Joseph Parker defeats Daniel Dubois, he’ll come in with Joseph Parker. You can see it,” Nelson said.
