Anthony Joshua DiKO Daniel Dubois, Tyson Fury Gets His Getah
JAKARTA Former WBC heavyweight champion from England, Tyson Fury was furious because of Anthony Joshua's defeat to Daniel Dubois. Joshua lost to the fifth round of knockout in the duel for the IBF heavyweight belt at Wembley Stadium, London, Saturday night, September 21, 2024.
Joshua, who is pursuing achievements as a three-time heavyweight world champion, actually knockout three times before finally giving up KO from Dubois. In fact, if Joshua wins, he has the potential to face Fury in the race for next year's heavyweight world belt.
Fury must first play a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in December. If you win, the boxer nicknamed The Gypsy King has been designed against Joshua in a megaduel held in Saudi Arabia in 2025.

But after Joshua's defeat, Fury said that the match no longer had a strong magnet to bring in spectators.
"Listen, the Stupid Man's defeat made my chances of getting 150 million pooling fly away," Fury said in an annoyed tone, as quoted by The Mirror.
The boss of the Saudi Arabian Entertainment Authority, Turkey, Alalsikh, who is a new source of money in professional boxing, once promised a very big fee for Fury and Joshua. With a note, Fury won the rematch against Usyk and Joshua won over Dubois.
The Fury vs Joshua fight is still possible, but the selling value is no longer as big as if Joshua wins. Especially if Fury loses again against Usyk, it is certain that the duel value against Joshua will decline.

Anthony Joshua himself said that the defeat to Daniel Dubois was not the end of his career. Both will still have a rematch, because the clause is in the match contract.
