“He’s The Lesser Of Two Evils,” says Anthony Nelson, leaving no doubt as to who he will fight next.
In September, Anthony Joshua will make his comeback to the ring; his opponent will be revealed the following week.
After losing his unified belts to the now undefeated champion, Alexander Usyk, the 34-year-old is on a four-fight winning streak and is trying to find a way to regain at least one of them.
The IBF might present that. If Usyk fails to fulfill his mandatory requirements against Daniel Dubois, the current Interim Champion, the sanctioning body has the authority to take away his belt.
Eddie Hearn, the promoter, said the fight is the goal fight; however, if the belt isn’t at stake, the team will look elsewhere. China’s Zhilei is the next most probable candidate.
Though there has been no word on the IBF’s position, former cruiserweight world champion and current pundit Johnny Nelson stated he was positive it was Dubois in an interview with Boxing King Media.
Dubois is the name. Daniel Dubois is the person. You know if you know. Does it make more sense financially? Yes. Which of the two evils is it less? Yes. There are many rumors circulating about how they fought, the ding dongs. Fighting and sparring are two distinct things.Though Dubois is currently seeing a surge in popularity, I believe AJ has worn that t-shirt and performed that dance. In this circumstance, AJ’s time is now. He’ll be too observant. His blows are too forceful and concussive for Dubois to take. We also witness him get struck.
Anthony Joshua is taller, much faster, and hits.However, the IBF informed Sky Sports that it has not received a request to approve Joshua vs. Dubois as a possible match for the IBF heavyweight title.

Oleksandr Usyk is the owner of all four of the major heavyweight world titles, including the IBF title, after defeating Tyson Fury.
In addition, there are other competitors hoping to face Anthony Joshua. Zhilei Zhang would love to box Anthony Joshua after Zhang defeated Deontay Wilder on the same bill as Dubois’ triumph over Hrgovic. The Watford man defeated him in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
