Frank Warren, promoter of heavyweights Daniel Dubois (18-1, 17 KOs) and Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs) of England, is ready to field either of them against former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) in next year.
Dubois will defend the “regular” WBA title on Dec. 3 against Kevin Lerena, while Joyce won the “interim” WBA title last month by knocking out Joseph Parker.
As for Joshua, he hopes to get back on the winning track after two losses to Oleksandr Usyk.
“Now I can start throwing Dubois and Joyce at him [Джошуа]said Warren
Sky Sports. “If AJ doesn’t fight any of them, I think it will be difficult for him to sell anything to people, and he won’t be able to say: “Why should I do this?” I’ll tell you why. Because he will be the mandatory challenger.”
Joshua or Usyk? Dubois has decided on the desired opponent
The promoter believes that Joshua “can be knocked down by anyone.”
“I would put any of my guys with him. Anyone. Joyce would have knocked him out and Dubois would have done the same,” Warren assured.
Usyk will vacate the place of WBO champion, Joyce believes. And here is his response to the suggestion that he is ready to fight Wilder.
