“AJ’s a tremendous competitor himself and he is at all times run again fights. After his [Andy] Ruiz loss, he avenged that loss. He tried to avenge the Usyk loss. Anthony Joshua as I say he is a fierce competitor and he’ll wish to avenge that loss so I can see that battle occurring down the road.
“I do believe if the Fury fight doesn’t happen for AJ, I believe he’ll run it back with Daniel.”
“You could do it in Africa,” he added. “We could do that fight over there. It would be monstrous, like a rerun of the Rumble in the Jungle. It would be fantastic.”
Dubois is now working with a brand new coach, Tony Sims.
“He’s moved coach. He had a great run with Don Charles, a very successful run with Don Charles but Daniel felt that he needed a change,” Jones defined. “He’s training down there at the moment. He’s improving.
“He is a sponge, he desires to study, he is desperate to get higher.”
