Dubois, the IBF heavyweight champion, knocked out Joshua at Wembley stadium in September. It was a crushing defeat, but a potential rematch in February has been laid out as an option for AJ.
“I’d have that in a heartbeat,” Frank Warren, Dubois’ promoter, told Sky Sports. “He’s got it [if he wants it].”
Warren, though, doubts that Joshua’s team ultimately will take it, adding: “Who’d you advise him to fight?”
He is adamant that Dubois-AJ II can only take place early in 2025. “He is the champion and it’ll be done in his terms,” Warren said.
“Daniel will defend his title in February and if it’s not Joshua then it’ll be against somebody who is ranked in the top five.”
February is the window for that fight because later in the year Dubois could be looking at an undisputed world title shot of his own, especially if that came against previous conqueror Oleksandr Usyk.
“What a great rematch that would be,” Warren said.
“He wants that.” Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, revealed however that while AJ wants that rematch, he might not be ready for February.
