Frank Warren hopes both Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois get the chance to challenge for world titles this year.
However, the promoter has no intention to match his fighters in a rematch any time soon. The last time they fought in 2020 brought about a controversial end, with Dubois attracting criticism for a decision to take a knee after he could not continue with a fractured eye socket.
Dubois had two wins in 2021 and is now the WBA’s number one heavyweight fighter. However with the governing body’s profligate number of titles yet to be fully trimmed. WBA regular champion Trevor Bryan might get a shot at the super champion, Oleksandr Usyk, before the 24-year-old can fight the American directly above him.
Joyce meanwhile, is the number one ranked fighter in the WBO.
"The rematch is on our radar but it's pointless to be doing that when both Joyce and Dubois are in number one positions," Warren explained to the BBC.
"It's always a good fight between Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois and it's always there - and it will be better next time round because it'll be in front of a live audience.
"These guys will be in a world title fight one way or another, either against Tyson Fury [should he become undisputed heavyweight champion in 2022] or someone else. They're in an extremely strong position.
"That's why it doesn't quite make sense to do Joyce v Dubois II right now. But when they do fight each other they will have much more experience. It could be a stadium fight."
However, with Tyson Fury set to fight Dillian Whyte once financial negotiations are resolved, and Usyk to rematch Anthony Joshua in early 2022, there are plenty of moving parts that might force Dubois and Joyce back into the ring for a high-profile bout.
"Everything depends on what happens with the heavyweights, whether the belts fragment or there's a unification but they're in good positions," Warren continued.
"I think Tyson beats them all, but should he become undisputed, will he be able to hold on to all the belts or be forced to vacate? Will Tyson defend against Joyce or Dubois? It's hard to predict."
