Daniel Dubois is looking for his next big fight after a string of impressive wins. The IBF Heavyweight World Champion has been on a roll, beating Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and most recently, Anthony Joshua in a stunning fifth-round victory.
Dubois was set for an immediate rematch with Joshua in February. But those plans have changed. Joshua isn't ready for the February date, leaving Dubois to consider other options.
In an interview with Boxing King Media, Dubois shared his thoughts on the situation:
"Not as such. I'm in my lane and he's in his. He's been at the top for a long time now. Whatever he decides to do next, it's on him."
When asked about potential new opponents, the 27-year-old champion didn't hold back:
"Whoever it is, I'd love a big fight. Whoever wants it can get it. At this moment right now whoever wants it can get it. I'm gonna get back into training soon and sharpen my mind up for whoever they want to throw in with me. But I want to get all the other belts and become undisputed … Put them in front of me and I'll knock 'em down and send them into retirement."
Dubois' immediate goal is a voluntary title defense. But he's got his eyes on the bigger prize: becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. Potential opponents for his next fight include Joseph Parker, Zhilei Zhang, Agit Kabayel, and Martin Bakole.
The heavyweight division is buzzing with activity. Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set for a rematch on December 21. If Fury wins, we might see a trilogy fight. But if Usyk comes out on top again, Anthony Joshua could push for a fight with him in Summer 2025.
Dubois has made a name for himself with three increasingly impressive wins. He handed both Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic their first defeats before being elevated to IBF Heavyweight World Champion. His fifth-round victory over Anthony Joshua cemented his status as a force to be reckoned with in the division.
As the young champion prepares for his next challenge, the heavyweight boxing world watches with interest. Who will step up to face Dubois? And will he continue his winning streak on the path to becoming undisputed champion? Only time will tell.
