Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren believes two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua would get knocked out by British heavyweights Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois.
Joshua is not expected to return to the ring until 2023 and the two rising British heavyweights are being offered as exciting opponents for the British-Nigerian.
Joshua has suffered two consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk and will now be looking to work his way back into the world title picture.
Warren has suggested either Joyce or Dubois would be an ideal opponent for the 32-year-old.
Joyce is highly ranked by the WBO and holds its ‘interim’ heavyweight title, while Dubois is similarly well positioned in the WBA after winning their ‘regular’ belt. Both would provide dangerous opposition for Joshua but also a route back to a world title shot.
“Now I’m going to be able to start throwing Daniel Dubois at him and Joe,” Frank Warren said.
“If he don’t fight one of them I think they’ll find it hard to sell anything and he can’t say, ‘Why should I do that?’. I’ll tell you why, he’ll become a mandatory.
“He’s liable to get knocked over by anybody. I’d put any of my guys in with him. Any of them. Joe Joyce would knock him out and Dubois would do the same.”
