“His Time Is Done”: British Heavyweight Vows To Beat Anthony Joshua Worse Than Dubois Did
One British heavyweight has claimed that Anthony Joshua‘s career is almost over and that he will beat him in more impressive fashion than Daniel Dubois.
Dubois stopped Joshua inside five rounds back in September 2024. It was the most impressive night of the young IBF champion’s career after two previous knockout wins over Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller, and it marked one of the worst nights in the ring for Joshua
He was also put down hard in the first round and never looked like becoming a three-time world champion. It was the fourth loss of his career following an upset stoppage loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019, which he avenged with a wide points win in December that year, and two points losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.
Joshua is out recovering from injury, but insists he will be back for one final run in the ring, but a British heavyweight rival has lashed out at ‘AJ.’
That is Hughie Fury, who believes he’s put himself in the frame for a fight with Joshua. Fury has had 33 fights, won 30 and lost 3 to Joseph Parker, Alexandr Pvetkin and Kubrat Pulev. Last time out in early April, he beat Dan Garber by fifth round KO.

Speaking to Morson Sport, Fury had praise for Joshua but replied ‘100%’ when asked if he could beat him more emphatically than Dubois did.
“Yeah 100% [I’ll beat him worse than Dubois].
These are the fights that I want. Joshua’s had a great career. You can’t really knock the fella, he’s been at the elite level. He’s done great things in boxing, but I believe his time is done. He’s got limited fights left and hopefully I’ll be one of them.”
‘AJ’ is more likely looking for a much bigger fight with Hughie’s cousin Tyson, though the former world champion remains retired for now.
