Pretty much confirmed to take place in December. Not sure why they have to wait 6 months though.. x.com
I'm definitely more excited for the rematch as I had zero interest in fight 1 and expected a boring dud and it was actually a fun fight
So the IBF have stripped their champion because he won't fight a mandatory against a bloke he brayed already but will instead sanction a 'title' fight between said bloke and their next highest ranked fighter, who the stripped champ has beaten already, too. Twice. Farcical. MTF
ddDubious has a great case for a rematch after how that shit show played out. he KNOCKED USYK OUT i commend the IBFelonious because we end up getting the best possible match up.
DuBois has a big quivering lip and Hapsburg jaw that makes him look like some sort of dopey soft lad .
I don't like stripping Usyk of the title to give it to Dubois, it feels cheap and pointless. However, Joshua vs Dubois is an excellent fight IMO, and if this is what it took to get it over the line then it's not the worst decision. Especially given that now Usyk already won undisputed, it's not as bad as if it was before the Fury fight.
@ade.oladipo told me it went down with @anthonyjoshua and @dynamite_daniel_dubois but never thought it was like this on the last note what the hell was security gonna do big up his Excellency @turkialalshik can’t wait for the 21st of September | Spencer Fearon | Puff Daddy · Victory (feat. The Notorious B.I.G. & Busta Rhymes) Really can't wait for AJ-Dubois. Should be a war.
