DAMN! Anthony Joshua CONFRONTS Dubois & Zhang Zhileil In Person After CALL OUT

DAMN! Anthony Joshua CONFRONTS Dubois & Zhang Zhileil In Person After CALL OUT
Watford native Anthony Joshua has experienced his fair share of ups and downs in his boxing career over the past few years. However, the former world champion bounces back to face new challenges again. He has been performing exceptionally and has won his last four bouts. As he was gearing up for his next fight, disappointing news came up, which might dishearten his fans.
Matchroom Boxing boss and AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn is still getting over his loss to fellow promoter Frank Warren. However, he didn’t forget his role as a promoter as he was recently answering questions about how he plans to orchestrate a fight for AJ.
Eddie Hearn has 3 potential opponents for Anthony Joshua
The recent 5 vs 5 battle between Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry has cleared a lot of air about the matchups in the heavyweight division. A lot of things have become clear for AJ. The Brit was rumored to fight Deontay Wilder first. However, with Wilder’s recent loss to Zhilei Zhang, that prospect seems out of the question.
Of late, the heavyweight division of boxing has drawn a lot of interest from fans because of the world-class fights that happened in the recent past. Fans are a little down, though, since they were hoping to see their favorite fighter step inside the squared circle soon but there has been no word on when AJ will fight next. The Matchroom Boxing boss stated that as of now, there is nothing confirmed for Joshua in September. He further added, “Who the opponent will be is undecided. You’ve got Zhilei Zhang which is a great fight. He’s a WBO interim world champion. You’ve got Daniel Dubois, now the IBF interim heavyweight champion. Another great fight, especially for British boxing. You’ve got Joseph Parker who is on a great run.”
His promoter has given a few hints regarding the boxer’s next opponent. With some great options for the boxer, it is still undecided who he will fight next. British fans have been long anticipating an all-British fight though. Luckily, Greenwich, UK native Daniel Dubois has become the interim IBF heavyweight champion, and there is a high chance that he might face AJ in September. But the athlete doesn’t feel good when he is not inside the ring.
Zhilei Zhang (27-2-1, 22 KOs) called out Anthony Joshua after his fifth-round knockout win over Deontay Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs) on Saturday night in Riyadh. Zhang says he’ll fight Joshua next if he doesn’t have an opponent. Unfortunately for the 41-year-old Zhang, promoter Eddie Hearn didn’t mention him after the fight as a potential next opponent for Joshua in September. Dubois Emerges as a More Likely Option Hearn mentioned Daniel Dubois as a potential foe for Joshua in September at Wembley. That’s a fight that would sell due to Dubois being from the UK, being young, exciting to watch, and looked good in stopping Filip Hrgovic in the eighth round on Saturday night to capture the IBF interim title. Zhang doesn’t have a title for Joshua to win, so he’s not a strong option for his next fight. Zhang’s Post-Fight Statements “Who would I fight next? There’s a two-way agreement. If AJ has no opponent, I can fight him,” said Zhilei Zhang to the media, calling out Anthony Joshua following his fifth round knockout win over Deontay Wilder on Saturday night in Riyadh. “I won the match. This is the result of my team’s hard work. He had the power, but today, my defense was very good,” Zhang said about Wilder. “He hit me a few times, I felt him. I still had the power.
After I hit him, he was hurt. Then I hit him again,” said Zhang about his knockout of Wilder in the fifth. “There was Deontay, and he just wasn’t at the races,” said promoter Eddie Hearn to Fight Hub TV. “Just not the same. I just feel his belief is not there anymore, and you have to ask yourself why. Is it time? Is it something else that’s not right? “He’s not letting his hands go, and that’s what made him one of the most feared fighters in the world. It’s all down to personal opinion of what’s next for him, and that’s up to him. He’s not the fighter he was at the moment, but people come back. “I went up to him. He thought it shouldn’t have been stopped, but I don’t think there’s many that feel that way. But obviously, he’s frustrated. I’m sure he’s given everything in camp,” said Hearn
That sanctioning body is currently deciding on whether or not to force current undisputed champion to vacate its belt given he won’t be fulfilling his mandatory challenge, instead rematching Tyson Fury later this year.
If the belt is made vacant, Dubois would be fighting for it against the next top contender. That is one Anthony Joshua, and the pair are potentially set to meet at Wembley Stadium this September.
Hall of Fame fighter and manager Barry McGuigan - whose son Shane trained Dubois for a period - spoke to about the match-up, backing ‘AJ’ as favourite.
