Fury vs Joshua Hindered: The Impact of Anthony Joshua's Loss to Daniel Dubois

Saturday's stunning knock-out of Anthony Joshua by Daniel Dubois has evidently not shattered Joshua's career, given that he is the second highest-paid boxer on Forbes' athlete list. However, the devastating loss has left spectators questioning what it could mean for a future bout against former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. 

In the clash for the IBF heavyweight title, Dubois sent Joshua crashing to the canvas four times, sparking speculations if this could signal the end of Joshua's run. Despite the defeat, though, there's a continued prospect of big offers coming Joshua's way.

While Joshua may be interested in a rematch with Dubois, the latter might decide to take on the victor of the December 21st fight between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. The stakes are high, as this decision may affect the potential of a Joshua vs. Fury fight anytime soon. 

Given the financial potential and fan interest in a Fury vs. Joshua match, it's hoped that this could still happen in 2025. In the past, numerous attempts to organize this fight have been unsuccessful. Time is running out for both Joshua and Fury but at the moment, Joshua's rematch with Dubois seems to be top-priority.

Despite Dubois now being in a preferred position to fight the winner of Usyk vs. Fury, the demand for an eventual match between the two English rivals, Joshua and Fury, remains high. This fight, should it ever materialize, is speculated to be a massive affair, perhaps the biggest fight ever to take place on British soil.
