“He Won’t Take It” Tyson Fury Has No Doubt Who Wins Anthony Joshua vs
Rematch: “He Won’t Take It”
Anthony Joshua was stunned by Daniel Dubois in his attempt to become a three-time world heavyweight champion at Wembley Stadium.
Though ‘AJ’ stepped through the ropes a sizeable favourite, it was newly-elevated IBF Champion Dubois who immediately grabbed control. Backed by his stellar and stiff jab, the younger man worked his way in and dropped Joshua in the first
He would touch the canvas twice more before having some success in the fifth round, but Dubois put an end to that and the contest entirely with a right hand that Joshua couldn’t get up from.
The defeat has thrown many things into doubt for Joshua: his future in the sport, chances of becoming world champion again and a long-awaited bout with Tyson Fury.
Speaking to The Stomping Ground, Fury said that he was ‘deflated’ at ringside due to the prospect of their bout no longer being as big.

“I was the only sad person there. I was completely deflated. It will still be big but it won’t be as big.”
He then said that there was little respect shown to Dubois pre-fight.
“People thought it was the Anthony Joshua show. He’s going to fight this world champion and knock him over and nobody was respecting Dubois. It shouldn’t be like this. I said why don’t you put some respect on that world champion’s name. Karma is a b***h it really is.”
On an immediate rematch, of which ‘AJ’s team are currently considering, ‘The Gypsy King’ says it won’t happen. If it does, he believes Joshua loses again.
“No I don’t think he can [win a rematch]. I don’t think he’ll take a rematch.”
Fury is currently preparing for a return fight of his own against Oleksandr Usyk in which he will have the chance to avenge his only career defeat and win the WBA, WBC and WBO titles.
