Hearn is just looking for one last payday from his cash cow. Fury want's the payday also and now knows he has nothing to fear or lose - if he loses to Usyk then its another massive payday, if he wins its an even bigger payday as he'll get a much bigger share. Joshua knows that if he lost again to Dubois then it's over for him so why take the risk. Apparently the IBF have given the go ahead for Dubois to defend against Fabio Wardley which makes sense as he needs to cement his status in the division with a few wins.A lot of talk over the last few days suggesting that Joshua won't be taking the rematch vs Dubois. Given the way the first fight went and the risk of being plastered all over the canvas again, it's difficult to say it's the wrong decision. Assuming not even Hearn's shameless enough to try and hype up a rematch vs Whyte then I guess it's now a case of waiting for the Fury-Usyk rematch and then looking to make the Fury fight. If Fury loses then that fight should be easy to make and could possibly be the final big pay day for both but I've no idea how things would play out if Fury were to beat Usyk. Having belts on the line would make the Joshua fight bigger (although not as big if Joshua had a title too) but you'd imagine there would be calls for a trilogy fight with Usyk before the Joshua fight could happen.
Fair assessment..Hearn is just looking for one last payday from his cash cow. Fury want's the payday also and now knows he has nothing to fear or lose - if he loses to Usyk then its another massive payday, if he wins its an even bigger payday as he'll get a much bigger share. Joshua knows that if he lost again to Dubois then it's over for him so why take the risk. Apparently the IBF have given the go ahead for Dubois to defend against Fabio Wardley which makes sense as he needs to cement his status in the division with a few wins.
Whatever happens I can't see Joshua winning against anyone in the top 5 after seeing how easily he was beaten last time.
Good for him he deserves some of the spot light!Looks like Inouye has signed a big deal with Riyadh Season to promote his fights going forward.
