He can&#8217;t really fight the likes of Usyk and go in to fight a nobody the next fight,&#8221; Sims told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;ll be looking to go straight back in there. But he&#8217;s only a young man still. He&#8217;s a young heavyweight and he&#8217;s got plenty long left in his career yet. He&#8217;s exciting and he can punch, he can box. It&#8217;s good to work with him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s doing really well, Daniel. Obviously he came to me a couple of months ago to see if we&#8217;d gel and we&#8217;ve gelled. Just waiting for the date really. Hopefully it&#8217;ll be the early part of next year. He&#8217;s doing really well in the gym.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sdc-site-video__accessibility-message\" data-role=\"accessibility-message\">Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/skysports-usyk-boxing_6969008.jpg\" alt=\"USYK BOXING\"  aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"sdc-site-video__poster-img excluded-image\" data-testid=\"sitewide-video-poster\"\/><\/p>\n<p>              Oleksandr Usyk revealed a hilarious nickname for his knockout punch after his dominant victory over Daniel Dubois at Wembley.<\/p>\n<p>Dubois could rematch Joshua, who will be boxing Jake Paul in a crossover event on December 19.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Dubois, Joshua has only lost to two other opponents in his professional career, Usyk and Andy Ruiz, both of whom he took on in rematches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a possibility,&#8221; Sims said of Dubois having a rematch with AJ.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s as long as Joshua doesn&#8217;t struggle with Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned prizefighter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it goes past one round then there&#8217;s something wrong with the fight. I just don&#8217;t see Jake Paul going a round with Anthony Joshua,&#8221; said Sims, who worked with AJ at an early stage of his pro career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sdc-site-video__accessibility-message\" data-role=\"accessibility-message\">Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/skysports-boxing-fury-chisora_6969128.jpg\" alt=\"Fury Chisora Boxing\"  aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"sdc-site-video__poster-img excluded-image\" data-testid=\"sitewide-video-poster\"\/><\/p>\n<p>              Former opponents Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora react to Oleksandr Usyk&#8217;s knockout victory over Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it does go past the first round, it doesn&#8217;t look good for Anthony.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AJ versus Paul is an unlikely match up. Paul, who&#8217;s only had 13 pro fights, has never competed at Joshua&#8217;s level and is a natural cruiserweight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s strange, it&#8217;s all for the money and it&#8217;s all about financial reasons,&#8221; Sims reflected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sdc-site-video__accessibility-message\" data-role=\"accessibility-message\">Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/skysports-adeleye-dubois_7001815.jpg\" alt=\"Adeleye Dubois\"  aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"sdc-site-video__poster-img excluded-image\" data-testid=\"sitewide-video-poster\"\/><\/p>\n<p>              Speaking on Toe2Toe, David Adeleye says he would relish a fight with Daniel Dubois in the future. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only upside to it is, it brings a wider scope of audience to boxing. I think we&#8217;ve seen that with the YouTube and Misfits kind of fighters, they bring a different audience to boxing and a wider audience. Boxing is flourishing at the minute, especially financially for the fighters. That is probably the only upside of it, is the scale of the audience that it&#8217;s going to bring into boxing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These fighters they do all this for the money, it is their job at the end of the day. I know Anthony&#8217;s already got a lot of money and he&#8217;s a very wealthy man. But if you can give him another bit of wealth he&#8217;s always going to take it. That&#8217;s why they do it. They know the career and the life in boxing doesn&#8217;t go on forever,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it&#8217;s a one round destruction job, why wouldn&#8217;t you take it? I don&#8217;t know anyone who wouldn&#8217;t take that fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rematch with Anthony Joshua remains a possibility for Daniel Dubois, says new trainer Tony Sims.
