Potential second bout between the British heavyweights would not be staged at Wembley
Anthony Joshua is keen to take on Daniel Dubois in a rematch which is likely to take place in Saudi Arabia, according to his promoter Eddie Hearn.
Joshua was floored four times by Dubois before being knocked out in the fifth round of their heavyweight title bout at Wembley last month.
The 34-year-old has a rematch clause in his contract with the Saudi organisers who staged the fight.
And when asked to provide an update on the situation, Hearn told FightHub: “So the big decision now really is – do we take the rematch?
“There’s a keenness from His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] to make that rematch in February, it’s part of our options within our contract.
“I think AJ will always lean towards the rematch. You saw him rematch Andy Ruiz straight away, you saw him rematch Oleksandr Usyk straight away.
“For me the other carrot that may dangle is obviously waiting for the Fury vs Usyk fight on December 21. But he said something the other day: ‘What happens if one of them gets injured?’
“You’re gonna be out of the ring for nearly a year, and I’m not sure coming off the back of that kind of defeat you want to be out the gym for too long.
