Trainer Don Charles revealed that a rematch with Joe Joyce is a possibility for Daniel Dubois’ next fight.
Joyce and Dubois fought back in 2020, when Joyce took the WBO interim heavyweight belt off the younger man in a brutal encounter that saw Dubois take a knee as he suffered a fractured orbital bone.
Dubois returned to earn a shot against Oleksandr Usyk a couple of years into his comeback, but he again fell short and is now making his second comeback from defeat, most recently beating Jarrell Miller at the end of the year.
With Usyk set to fight Tyson Fury on May 18, live on DAZN PPV , there is time for Dubois to fight someone else in the chase for a title fight.
Speaking to BoxingScene.com , Charles explained that Joyce could be in line after beating Kash Ali at the weekend, ending a streak of two consecutive defeats, both against Zhilei Zhang.
“It’s one of the fights,” Charles offered. “I think Frank Warren even mentioned it, so down the line most definitely, if Joe keeps winning, and we keep winning, that would be a wicked return fight.
“Joe holds a victory over Daniel, so we’d love to avenge that. All the great fighters of the past… and one that springs to mind is Lennox Lewis, he’s one who avenged his losses. Joe was well up there, now he’s beaten [Kash] Ali [returning from losses to Zhilei Zhang], look at what Joseph Parker has recently done [in terms of rebuilding since being stopped by Joyce].
“Joe beat him, and look what Joseph Parker has done. That’s how this heavyweight thing goes.”
