Frank Warren insists Anthony Joshua could be an option for Daniel Dubois or Tyson Fury.

Joshua fought Dubois at Wembley Stadium with the intentions of setting up a huge showdown with Fury in 2025, but he was dropped four times and stopped by his rival in stunning fashion.

The future is now unclear for AJ, with his promoter Eddie Hearn ruling out retirement and claiming he would look to activate a rematch clause in the fight contract.

He also insisted a fight with Fury could still be on the table in the new year despite the defeat.

Warren clarified both questions during an appearance on talkSPORT Breakfast, insisting a sequel could be on the table, although it isn’t contracted.

He said: “He doesn’t have a rematch in his contract. But there is one in AJ’s contract.

“I haven’t got a problem with a rematch if they want to do it and the terms are all okay. But it is too soon.

“He needs to savour the moment, he has shown what he is all about now fighting four world ranked fighters this year.”

When asked if the possibility of seeing Joshua face Fury has now diminished, he added: “I don’t know.

“I think people may still want it, if he comes back and has a win who knows.

“Fury has to face Usyk first in a rematch on December 21, but I fancy him to come through it.

“This division is alive, losers fighting losers and winners fighting winners.

“There is such a great combination of fights and it hasn’t ever been so lively and that is because of the involvement of Riyadh Season.”

Despite his defeat, Joshua appears to still have options on the table, particularly given he still has one fight remaining on his deal with Riyadh Season.

A second meeting with Joshua could be key for Dubois if he is to secure redemption and make his way back into the mix again.

But boxing fans have clamoured for a clash with Fury for so many years, and interest could still be sky high if the ‘Gypsy King’ loses to Usyk for a second time.

Fury’s reaction ringside appeared to suggest he felt he had now lost out on a potential two-fight deal with Joshua.

And when asked about his rival’s recent defeat, he insisted he is unsure what lies ahead for Joshua.

“It’s heavyweight boxing, s**t happens, you get knocked spark out,” Fury said after sitting ringside.

“It could have been me. In the heavyweight division, it’s what happens.

“What went wrong is what always happens in heavyweight boxing. A good right hand on the end of the chin, and that was it.

“I don’t know [if Joshua will retire]. It’s up to the man and whatever he wants to do.

“If he has good ambitions to come back again, he can make his own decisions. He’s a big boy.

“I thought it was a 50-50 fight. Dubois is a lot younger. He’s 27-years-old. Joshua is 35 [sic], the same age as me. Age doesn’t wait for anybody.

“You get hit with those punches [and] you don’t see many heavyweights get hit, get knocked down, get back up, and continue on.”
