Anthony Joshua was beaten in devastating fashion by Daniel Dubois at Wembley on Saturday night, putting his long-awaited fight with Tyson Fury in serious doubt
The proposed heavyweight boxing showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua seems further away than ever before after the latter was blown away by Daniel Dubois on Saturday night. With the whole world watching, Dubois came of age with a fifth-round knock-out that stunned a sell-out Wembley Stadium.
Of course, striking up the deal when Joshua and Fury were world champions - at various points - was problematic as is so often the case at the very top level. Oleksandr Usyk has also had a major say in recent times - after beating both men and Joshua twice - but there is still some hope it might happen despite the Dubois demolition.
Speaking before Saturday night's headline act beneath the famous arch, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn told BBC Sport: "I do think AJ vs Fury will happen regardless of whether Fury wins or not, but the size of the fight depends on their next two results.""If AJ beats Dubois and Fury beats Usyk, you've got the biggest fight in the history of the sport ever. If one fighter loses and the other wins, then it's still a monster fight," added Hearn.
