00:00Eddie Hearn has explained why Anthony Joshua won't be getting an immediate rematch with
00:06Daniel Dubois for the IBF Heavyweight Championship, revealing that he had to have a brutally honest
00:11conversation with the former two-time world title holder.
00:16Joshua suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of Dynamite, who put him down on the canvas
00:20multiple times before stopping him in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium in September.
00:26Despite the one-sided nature of the defeat, a rematch was always likely. However, while
00:31speaking to Boxing News, his promoter Eddie Hearn went into detail on why that date was
00:36never a realistic possibility.
00:39He said,
00:40We had a very awkward call with AJ and his medical team. He wanted to fight in February
00:45and basically was told there's no way you can start camp and be 100 per cent for February
00:50physically.
00:51At 35 years old, Hearn knows that a second setback against Dubois is not an option.
