The Paul bout will be Joshua\u2019s first since the knockout, and there will be a lot of eyes on him to see if his punch resistance is still intact.<\/p>\n<p>Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs) is coming off a knockout loss of his own, having been stopped in five rounds by Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch on July 19, 2025. Sims says that they\u2019re looking for a \u201cbig fight\u201d for Dubois, as he can\u2019t go from fighting Usyk to a lesser fighter. That wouldn\u2019t do anything for Dubois\u2019 career, bringing him back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a possibility,\u201d said trainer Tony Sims to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/boxing\/news\/12040\/13481856\/anthony-joshua-rematch-is-a-possibility-for-daniel-dubois-says-new-trainer-tony-sims\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Sports Boxing<\/a> about a rematch between Dubois and Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>Why AJ Avoided Immediate Rematch<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s telling that Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, haven\u2019t pushed for the rematch with Dubois. When AJ suffered defeats against Andy Ruiz and Usyk, he had immediate rematches. In Dubois\u2019s case, he\u2019s chosen not to. You have to ask why. It\u2019s not a good look on Joshua that he\u2019s decided to walk away and leave the defeat hanging over his head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it goes past one round, then there\u2019s something wrong with the fight. I just don\u2019t see Jake Paul going a round with Anthony Joshua,\u201d said Sims about Joshua\u2019s fight against Jake Paul on December 19th.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what he\u2019ll be looking at, getting back into a big fight. He can\u2019t really fight the likes of Usyk and go in to fight a nobody the next fight,\u201d Sims on Dubois\u2019 next fight.<\/p>\n<p>Olly Campbell has been covering boxing since 2014, offering readers a clear ringside perspective and thoughtful analysis on many of the sport\u2019s biggest nights.
