Anthony Joshua could revisit his unfinished business with Daniel Dubois, with Eddie Hearn pointing to a possible rematch after the Tyson Fury fight in December. Joshua and Fury are scheduled to meet on December 11, 2026, at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

The winner will claim the WBA (Super) heavyweight title and move closer to becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion. However, Joshua has another challenge in mind if he gets past Fury.

Anthony Joshua Wants Daniel Dubois Rematch After Tyson Fury Fight

Hearn explained that Joshua remains focused on facing the biggest names in boxing. He also revealed the former champion has not forgotten his defeat to Dubois.

“I can’t speak on Tyson’s behalf, but for Joshua, he still wants to be in the biggest fights of the sport,” Hearn said.

“I’ve got to be honest with you, and I know it’s a very dangerous fight, but he wants to rematch Daniel Dubois. [Joshua] is a competitor, so he’s looking at that, and anyone who has ever beaten him, he’s rematched, apart from Daniel Dubois. He wants to have another go at Daniel Dubois, and this is second nature to him. He wants to avenge that defeat. It’s a dangerous fight, but if he goes through Tyson Fury and stops Tyson Fury, then why not?”

Dubois stopped Joshua in the fifth round of their September 2024 fight at Wembley Stadium. The defeat denied Joshua an opportunity to become a three-time heavyweight world champion.

Joshua has previously avenged defeats against Andy Ruiz Jr. and Oleksandr Usyk. However, he has yet to get another opportunity against Dubois.

Daniel Dubois Rematch Could Follow Tyson Fury Showdown

A victory over Fury could put Joshua in position to pursue another major heavyweight fight. Hearn suggested Joshua could target Dubois, who holds the WBO heavyweight title, or face IBF champion Filip Hrgovic.

However, the promoter stressed the danger involved in another meeting with Dubois.

Joshua’s most recent fight came in July 2026, when he stopped Kristian Prenga in the second round. The victory followed two knockdowns in the opening round, while his upcoming fight against Fury presents a much tougher test.

Fury enters the Cardiff contest after victories over Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach. The fight also carries major consequences for both heavyweights, as neither has a contractual rematch clause.

Anthony Joshua Faces Major Test Against Tyson Fury

Before Joshua considers a Daniel Dubois rematch, he must first get past Fury on December 11.

The fight will take place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with Netflix broadcasting the event live at no additional cost to standard subscribers. The WBA (Super) heavyweight title will also be at stake.

The undercard features a heavyweight contest between Deontay Wilder and Jai Opetaia, adding another major attraction to the event.

For Joshua, beating Fury would create an opportunity to pursue the Dubois rematch he has openly targeted through his promoter. A stoppage victory would give his plans added momentum, although Dubois remains a dangerous opponent.

Joshua’s immediate attention remains on Fury. Only after the Cardiff fight will he know whether a second meeting with Dubois is possible.

Hearn’s comments have made Joshua’s intentions clear. The former champion wants another chance to settle his 2024 defeat, but he must first overcome one of the biggest challenges of his career.
