Boxing’s most influential figure reveals Daniel Dubois vs. Anthony Joshua 2 date

The rematch between IBF world heavyweight boxing champion Daniel Dubois and former two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua is getting closer as boxing financier Turki Alalshikh announced the dates at a speech at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

The boxing industry was in the region during the Riyadh season. In the main event of a crowded evening, Artur Beterbiev won the undisputed light heavyweight championship when he defeated Dmitry Bivol with a majority decision victory, protesting against fight promoter Eddie Hearn immediately afterwards and demanding a rematch of that fight.

Dubois defeated Joshua with ease on September 21, dropping his compatriot in every round, but won before closing the show in style, in a knockout that ended in a one-sided defeat, as Terence Crawford Errol Spence Jr. in the performance of 2023.

The rematch officially has a date

Turki Alalshikh said it will take place on February 22nd

Dubois was up to the challenge on September 21 when, in front of 96,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium in London, he boxed the best he ever has, defeating Joshua in the fifth round of a dominant fight.

Whether a rematch will produce a different result than the one-sided defeat we saw last month remains to be seen, but it will certainly be a spectacle again when two of the world’s best-known heavyweights have their rematch on February 22 – a five-month turnaround .

Alalshikh also said that the rematch between Queensberry and Matchroom will take place on this day and the organizers will discuss the fights that will take place during the competition. As is well known, Queensberry won an overwhelming 5-0 victory in the first match.

“In February we are now discussing 5-on-5 and some other fights.”

Alalshikh was speaking after a Riyadh season boxing card headlined by light heavyweight rivals Artur Beterbiev and Dmitriy Bivol. Beterbiev won by a narrow, controversial margin. Alalshikh also commented on the result.

“It’s one of the best fights I’ve ever seen in 20 years, but I think the result isn’t fair in my opinion.”

A rematch is expected to take place in 2025.
