I’ll fight whoever pays more next between Joshua or Usyk – Dubois

Share our post

Daniel Dubois is interested in a rematch with either Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk — depending on which boxer “pays me the most”.

Over the weekend, Dubois retained his IBF world heavyweight title with a brutal fifth-round knockout of British rival Joshua at Wembley on Saturday, flooring the two-time former world champion four times in total.

Dubois’s promoter Frank Warren, meanwhile, has said while there is no specific clause in his fighter’s contract for a swift rematch with Joshua, they could meet again if the right deal was agreed.

Usyk is set to face Fury in their own rematch on December 21 for the WBA, WBO and WBC belts.

Dubois was beaten by Usyk in August 2023, but not before the Ukrainian was sent to the canvas by Dubois in the fifth round — only for the punch to be ruled a low blow and the champion given additional time to recover.

The 27-year-old Londoner said finance would determine the identity of his next opponent.

“I would love a rematch, but either one really — whoever pays me the most,” Dubois told talkSPORT radio on Tuesday.

Speaking about the possibility of facing Joshua again, Dubois said: “If that happens next then yeah, I want to go for it.

“I want to do it even better next time. I know where I need to improve as well, so as a champion and as a fighter I just want to prove people wrong every time and that is what we have been doing.
