Eddie Hearn Comments on Anthony Joshua's Performance Against Daniel Dubois
Eddie Hearn's Views on the Joshua vs. Dubois Fight
Eddie Hearn has openly criticised Anthony Joshua for not stopping the fight after Daniel Dubois executed a low blow. During the match at Wembley, Dubois showcased dominance, leading to Joshua's knockout in the fifth round. Following a powerful right counter from Dubois, Joshua fell to the canvas repeatedly, culminating in a fight-stopping moment due to the illegal punch.
Analyzing Joshua's Response
Hearn noted that Joshua's quick decision to continue fighting instead of taking the recovery time allowed in boxing rules reflected his inexperience. He said, “Joshua showed inexperience… he couldn’t stand up but kept pushing for the fight.” Despite the loss, Hearn emphasized that the effort Joshua displayed should be recognized, stating, “He tried his nuts off.”
Lastly, Hearn indicated that despite this defeat, a potential rematch with Dubois could be arranged for 2025.
