<p>AJ&#8217;s promoter <span data-track-module="internal-body-link">Eddie Hearn</span> insisted there is a rematch clause and that his fighter was likely to activate it in the aftermath of his Saturday shellacking.</p>
<p><span data-track-module="internal-body-link">Dubois retained his IBF world heavyweight crown</span> with a bullying performance in front of 96,000 fans as he floored Joshua four times, knocking him out in the fifth round.</p>
<p>Joshua has previously had double-headers against <span data-track-module="internal-body-link">Andy Ruiz Jr</span>. and <span data-track-module="internal-body-link">Oleksandr Usyk</span>, getting his own back against the former after a shock defeat in 2019.</p>
<p>However, Dubois&#8217; promoter <span data-track-module="internal-body-link">Frank Warren</span> has flung a spanner in the works with a potentially game-changing claim about the fight contract.</p>

<h5>Anthony Joshua has been handed a major blow in his hopes for a rematch with Daniel Dubois</h5>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/09/23/14/89989885-13881237-Dubois_promoter_Frank_Warren_says_his_fighter_does_not_have_a_gu-a-22_1727097581384.jpg" width="634" height="426" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" /></p>
<h5>Dubois&#8217; promoter Frank Warren says his fighter does not have a guaranteed rematch clause</h5>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/09/23/14/89989703-13881237-The_27_year_old_knocked_AJ_out_in_the_fifth_round_with_his_fourt-a-25_1727097581433.jpg" width="634" height="424" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" /></p>
<h5>The 27-year-old knocked AJ out in the fifth round with his fourth knockdown on Saturday</h5>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/09/23/14/89989687-13881237-Despite_being_unfancied_by_many_he_retained_his_IBF_world_heavyw-a-21_1727097581327.jpg" width="634" height="472" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" /></p>
<h5>Despite being unfancied by many, he retained his IBF world heavyweight title at Wembley</h5>
<p>He told talkSPORT that Dubois does not have a guaranteed rematch clause in his contract, even though AJ apparently does.</p>
<p>In any case, he said that his camp would be open to discussing a second fight between the boxers.</p>
<p>Joshua is no quitter and has a dream of joining the gilded hall of three-time champions so is expected to seek a solution wherever it takes him.</p>
<p>As he said in the ring moments after his defeat: &#8216;I&#8217;m always saying to myself I&#8217;m a fighter for life&#8230; we keep rolling the dice.</p>
<p>&#8216;I had a sharp opponent, a fast opponent and a lot of mistakes from my end, but that&#8217;s the game.&#8217;</p>
<p>And promoter Hearn told DAZN: &#8216;I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll exercise that rematch clause, I think that&#8217;s a given. He&#8217;ll need a rest and it&#8217;s a dangerous fight. This guy&#8217;s growing in confidence all the time.</p>
<p>&#8216;He&#8217;ll believe he can hurt Dubois. He&#8217;ll believe he can beat him, but full credit to Daniel Dubois, he deserves all the credit tonight. It was a great performance from Daniel.&#8217;</p>
<p>Dubois shocked the world on Saturday evening. He went against tradition and emerged out into Wembley Stadium first despite being the reigning champion &#8211; but that was the least of the surprises in store.</p>

<h5>Eddie Hearn has insisted that Joshua does have a rematch clause and wants to activate it</h5>

<h5>He hurt Dubois a couple of times but for the most part took a pummelling in front of 96,000</h5>

<h5>In the end, trainer Ben Davison threw in the towel and rushed into the ring as it was waved off</h5>

<h5>After the fight, Dubois insisted that he still hasn&#8217;t &#8216;reached my potential&#8217; in the boxing game</h5>
<p>From the opening bell he showcased his immense power and scored a huge knockdown in the opening round.</p>
<p>A stunned AJ returned to his corner to seek the guidance of trainer Ben Davison and, in the second round, he did manage to hang on as &#8216;Dynamite&#8217; Dubois pushed forward.</p>
<p>However, Joshua never looked as though he&#8217;d fully recovered from the early blow and was on the canvas once again in the third round, seconds before the bell rang.</p>
<p>It didn&#8217;t take long for &#8216;AJ&#8217; to be sent down to the canvas again as, in the fourth round, Dubois connected with another huge hook that had Joshua&#8217;s corner concerned.</p>
<p>Somehow, the 34-year-old managed to get to his feet once more and marched forward, despite the heavy blows he&#8217;d taken in the opening rounds.</p>
<p>However, it was all in the fifth after Joshua caught Dubois and charged forward before the IBF heavyweight champion delivered a brilliant counter right-hook that sent his rival to the canvas.</p>
<p>Joshua attempted to get back to his feet for the fourth time in the fight but stumbled over, almost landing on his head, and gave the referee a simple decision to call off the bout.</p>
