It has been suggested that AJ&#8217;s next fight should be against a long-standing opponent. It has been told to Anthony Joshua that a straight rematch with Daniel Dubois could spell the end of his career.
The Watford fighter is at a crucial crossroads after being destroyed by Dubois last month, who felled him FOUR times his route to a spectacular fifth-round knockout victory.

Dubois coach Kieran Farrell has warned AJ against jumping straight back into the ring with Triple D.
AJ and his team are seemingly keen on an immediate rematch, something Dubois&#8217; coach Kieran Farrell believes could put the final nail into the coffin of the Brit boxing great&#8217;s career.
He told Boxing Scene: “If I was advising Joshua, I wouldn’t be telling him to jump back in with Daniel Dubois – a young, hungry, 27-year-old lion.&#8221;
&#8220;That I see day in, day out, I know what he is capable of, and Joshua does too now.
&#8220;If Daniel has somebody hurt, they ain’t going to see the final bell.
&#8220;He’s a devastating puncher and I’m only talking facts here. He’s like a modern-day Mike Tyson. But a bigger version.&#8221;
Farrell reckons Joshua would be better off rebuilding himself in a do-or-die showdown with long-time rival Deontay Wilder, whose career is also on life support.
“There are other fights there for Joshua,&#8221; Farrell insisted. &#8220;He can do the [Deontay] Wilder fight.
&#8220;That would be a good fight between two massive names who both need a big win right now.
&#8220;A win for either of them in that fight would give them a load of confidence.
&#8220;They’ve been linked together for a long time and are both now coming off defeats. It would make sense to do that fight.”

Joshua is seemingly keen on having an immediate rematch with his former sparring partner.
Despite defeat to Dubois derailing his bid to become a three-time world champion, Joshua insists he has no immediate plans to retire.
He said in his post-fight interview: &#8220;Before I came here, I&#8217;m always saying to myself, &#8216;I&#8217;m a fighter for life.&#8217;
&#8220;We rolled the dice at success and we came up short and we roll it again. We keep rolling the dice.&#8221;
A few days later, he added: &#8220;We came up short. But we have to look at all the positives.
&#8220;That&#8217;s the mindset and the perspective we have to have. Look what we have achieved in 11 years, it&#8217;s phenomenal.
&#8220;I want to thank every single one of you who has been riding with me.
&#8220;What a rollercoaster journey &#8211; and you know what the problem is? It&#8217;s far from over yet.&#8221;
