Daniel Dubois called out for the chance to avenge past defeat

Daniel Dubois became a two-time heavyweight world champion after stopping Fabio Wardley in May 2026, with a mandatory rematch against Wardley already set due to a contractual clause. Joe Joyce, who handed Dubois his first professional loss in 2020, has expressed interest in challenging for the WBO heavyweight title, citing his previous WBO Interim championship status. Joyce, who has lost four of his last five fights, must first rebuild his record, with a fight in Russia against an undefeated opponent upcoming.
